The patch titled Subject: mm: soft-offline: return -EBUSY if set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-soft-offline-return-ebusy-if-set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page-fails.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------ From: Naoya Horiguchi n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com Subject: mm: soft-offline: return -EBUSY if set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails

The pass/fail of soft offline should be judged by checking whether the raw error page was finally contained or not (i.e. the result of set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page()), but current code do not work like that. It might lead us to misjudge the test result when set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails.

Without this fix, there are cases where madvise(MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) may not offline the original page and will not return an error.
