OK, that sounds better, I'll do it.

OK, I'll use GFP_ATOMIC.

The maximum is the number of subpages in the hugepage (512 for 2MB hugepage,
262144 for 1GB hugepage).

Sorry if I might miss your point, but raw_hwp_unreliable is set when
allocating raw_hwp_page failed. hugetlb_set_page_hwpoison() can be called
multiple times on a hugepage and if one of the calls fails, the hwpoisoned
hugepage becomes unreliable.
BTW, as you pointed out above, if we switch to passing GFP_ATOMIC to kmalloc(),
the kmalloc() never fails, so we no longer have to implement this unreliable
flag, so things get simpler.

Maybe you are mentioning the race like below. Yes, that's possible.
CPU 0 CPU 1
free_huge_page
lock hugetlb_lock
ClearHPageMigratable
unlock hugetlb_lock
get_huge_page_for_hwpoison
lock hugetlb_lock
__get_huge_page_for_hwpoison
hugetlb_set_page_hwpoison
allocate raw_hwp_page
TestSetPageHWPoison
update_and_free_page
__update_and_free_page
if (PageHWPoison)
hugetlb_clear_page_hwpoison
TestClearPageHWPoison
// remove all list items
llist_add
unlock hugetlb_lock
The end result seems not critical (leaking raced raw_hwp_page?), but
we need fix.

The reason why I put ClearPageHWPoison(hpage) before llist_for_each_safe()
was that raw error page can be the head page. But this can be solved
with some additional code to remember whether raw_hwp_page list has an item
associated with the head page.
Or another approach in my mind now is to call hugetlb_clear_page_hwpoison()
with taking mf_mutex.
