Sorry, could you replace the description as follows (I inserted one sentence)?
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. So this patch is suggesting to
fix it.
