Subject: [PATCH v6 00/12] HWPOISON: soft offline rework

Hi,

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

Since v5, I dropped some patches which tweak refcount handling in
madvise_inject_error() to avoid the "unknown refcount page" error.
I don't confirm the fix (that didn't reproduce with v5 in my environment),
but this change surely call soft_offline_page() after holding refcount,
so the error should not happen any more.

Dropped patches
- mm,madvise: call soft_offline_page() without MF_COUNT_INCREASED
- mm,madvise: Refactor madvise_inject_error
- mm,hwpoison: remove MF_COUNT_INCREASED
- mm,hwpoison: remove flag argument from soft offline functions

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi

Quoting cover letter of v5:
----
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.
