Subject: [PATCH v5 00/16] HWPOISON: soft offline rework

This patchset is the latest version of soft offline rework patchset
targetted for v5.9.

Main focus of this series is to stabilize soft offline.  Historically soft
offlined pages have suffered from racy conditions because PageHWPoison is
used to a little too aggressively, which (directly or indirectly) invades
other mm code which cares little about hwpoison.  This results in unexpected
behavior or kernel panic, which is very far from soft offline's "do not
disturb userspace or other kernel component" policy.

Main point of this change set is to contain target page "via buddy allocator",
where we first free the target page as we do for normal pages, and remove
from buddy only when we confirm that it reaches free list. There is surely
race window of page allocation, but that's fine because someone really want
that page and the page is still working, so soft offline can happily give up.

v4 from Oscar tries to handle the race around reallocation, but that part
seems still work in progress, so I decide to separate it for changes into
v5.9.  Thank you for your contribution, Oscar.

The issue reported by Qian Cai is fixed by patch 16/16.

This patchset is based on v5.8-rc7-mmotm-2020-07-27-18-18, but I applied
this series after reverting previous version.
Maybe https://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/linux/commits/soft-offline-rework.v5
shows what I did more precisely.

Any other comment/suggestion/help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
