From: Mike Kravetz mike.kravetz@oracle.com Subject: hugetlb: do not demote poisoned hugetlb pages
It is possible for poisoned hugetlb pages to reside on the free lists. The huge page allocation routines which dequeue entries from the free lists make a point of avoiding poisoned pages. There is no such check and avoidance in the demote code path.
If a hugetlb page on the is on a free list, poison will only be set in the head page rather then the page with the actual error. If such a page is demoted, then the poison flag may follow the wrong page. A page without error could have poison set, and a page with poison could not have the flag set.
Check for poison before attempting to demote a hugetlb page. Also, return -EBUSY to the caller if only poisoned pages are on the free list.
