[PATCH v2 2/2] mm/hwpoison: fix fail isolate hugetlbfs page w/ refcount held

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Fri Aug 07 2015 - 06:17:07 EST


Hugetlbfs pages will get a refcount in get_any_page() or madvise_hwpoison()
if soft offline through madvise. The refcount which held by soft offline
path should be released if fail to isolate hugetlbfs pages. This patch fix
it by reducing a refcount for both isolate successfully and failure.
