------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Subject: mm: fix page reference leak in soft_offline_page()

The conversion to move pfn_to_online_page() internal to soft_offline_page() missed that the get_user_pages() reference taken by the madvise() path needs to be dropped when pfn_to_online_page() fails. Note the direct sysfs-path to soft_offline_page() does not perform a get_user_pages() lookup.

When soft_offline_page() is handed a pfn_valid() && !pfn_to_online_page() pfn the kernel hangs at dax-device shutdown due to a leaked reference.
