[PATCH v3 8/8] mm/hwpoison: fix memory failure still hold reference count after unpoison empty zero page

[Wanpeng Li <liwanp@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

madvise hwpoison inject will poison the read-only empty zero page if there is 
no write access before poison. Empty zero page reference count will be increased 
for hwpoison, subsequent poison zero page will return directly since page has
already been set PG_hwpoison, however, page reference count is still increased 
by get_user_pages_fast. The unpoison process will unpoison the empty zero page 
and decrease the reference count successfully for the fist time, however, 
subsequent unpoison empty zero page will return directly since page has already 
been unpoisoned and without decrease the page reference count of empty zero page.
This patch fix it by decrease page reference count for empty zero page which has 
already been unpoisoned and page count > 1.

Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 3
#define PAGE_SIZE	4096

int main(void)
{
	char *mem;
	int i;

	mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
			PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);

	if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
		return -1;
	
	munmap(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE);

	return 0;
}

Add printk to dump page reference count:
