------------------------------------------------------ From: Michael Wang yun.wang@linux.alibaba.com Subject: mm: fix panic caused by __page_handle_poison()
In commit 510d25c92ec4 ("mm/hwpoison: disable pcp for page_handle_poison()"), __page_handle_poison() was introduced, and if we mark:
RET_A = dissolve_free_huge_page(); RET_B = take_page_off_buddy();
then __page_handle_poison was supposed to return TRUE When RET_A == 0 && RET_B == TRUE
But since it failed to take care the case when RET_A is -EBUSY or -ENOMEM, and just return the ret as a bool which actually become TRUE, it break the original logic.
The following result is a huge page in freelist but was referenced as poisoned, and lead into the final panic:
kernel BUG at mm/internal.h:95! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI skip... RIP: 0010:set_page_refcounted mm/internal.h:95 [inline] RIP: 0010:remove_hugetlb_page+0x23c/0x240 mm/hugetlb.c:1371 skip... Call Trace: remove_pool_huge_page+0xe4/0x110 mm/hugetlb.c:1892 return_unused_surplus_pages+0x8d/0x150 mm/hugetlb.c:2272 hugetlb_acct_memory.part.91+0x524/0x690 mm/hugetlb.c:4017
This patch replaces 'bool' with 'int' to handle RET_A correctly.
