Hi Shixin, 

Thanks you for the report.

I'm not still sure about the logic behind the bug.
madvise(MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) should not work on free pages because
madvise_inject_error() pins the target page with get_user_pages_fast()
(MF_COUNT_INCREASED means refcount is incremented by the caller).
The retry logic can be called when soft_offline_free_page() fails, so
the logic assumes that the target page is a free page.  So why does
clearing MF_COUNT_INCREASED affect and solve the issue?

It seems to me that if soft_offline_page() is called on a free page
with MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, then it's problematic itself.

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
