Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] mm/hwpoison: fix unpoison_memory()

Hi,

I updated the unpoison patchset based ou discussions over v2.
Please see individual patches for details of updates.

----- (cover letter copied from v2) -----
Main purpose of this series is to sync unpoison code to recent changes
around how hwpoison code takes page refcount.  Unpoison should work or
simply fail (without crash) if impossible.

The recent works of keeping hwpoison pages in shmem pagecache introduce
a new state of hwpoisoned pages, but unpoison for such pages is not
supported yet with this series.

It seems that soft-offline and unpoison can be used as general purpose
page offline/online mechanism (not in the context of memory error). I
think that we need some additional works to realize it because currently
soft-offline and unpoison are assumed not to happen so frequently
(print out too many messages for aggressive usecases). But anyway this
could be another interesting next topic.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210614021212.223326-1-nao.horiguchi@gmail.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20211025230503.2650970-1-naoya.horiguchi@linux.dev/

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
