[PATCH v1 0/4] hwpoison: fixes on v4.2-rc2

Show all headers | View raw

Recently I addressed a few of hwpoison race problems and the patches are merged
on v4.2-rc1. It made progress, but unfortunately some problems still remain due
to less coverage of my testing. So I'm trying to fix or avoid them in this series.

One point I'm expecting to discuss is that patch 4/4 changes the page flag set
to be checked on free time. In current behavior, __PG_HWPOISON is not supposed
to be set when the page is freed. I think that there is no strong reason for this
behavior, and it causes a problem hard to fix only in error handler side (because
__PG_HWPOISON could be set at arbitrary timing.) So I suggest to change it.

With this patchset, the stress testing in official mce-test testsuite passes.

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
