OK, so what I really wanted is that (1) applying this patch just before http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-hwpoison-adjust-for-new-thp-refcounting.patch and (2) removing the following chunk from the mm-hwpoison-adjust-for-new-thp-refcounting.patch: @@ -1575,7 +1540,7 @@ static int get_any_page(struct page *pag * Did it turn free? */ ret = __get_any_page(page, pfn, 0); - if (!PageLRU(page)) { + if (ret == 1 && !PageLRU(page)) { /* Drop page reference which is from __get_any_page() */ put_hwpoison_page(page); pr_info("soft_offline: %#lx: unknown non LRU page type %lx\n", Thanks, Naoya Horiguchi
