Well, it does need to be a RDMA longterm pinned, right?
Anything holding an extra refcount can already make us bite the dust, so
I would not make it that specific.

I would document whhen and when not we can release the page.
E.g: we cannot release it if there are still processes mapping the thp.

You are returning -EHWPOISON here,

just to overwrite it here with action_result(). Which one do we need?
I think we would need -EBUSY here, right? So I would drop the retcode
from kill_procs_now.
Also, do we want the extra pr_err() here.
action_result() will already provide us the pfn and the
action_page_types which will be "unsplit thp". Is not that clear enough?
I would drop that.
