Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] mm/memory-failure: skip take_page_off_buddy after dissolving HWPoison HugeTLB page
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 19:41:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260202194125.2191216-4-jiaqiyan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260202194125.2191216-1-jiaqiyan@google.com>
Now that HWPoison subpage(s) within HugeTLB page will be rejected by
buddy allocator during dissolve_free_hugetlb_folio(), there is no
need to drain_all_pages() and take_page_off_buddy() anymore. In fact,
calling take_page_off_buddy() after dissolve_free_hugetlb_folio()
succeeded returns false, making caller think __page_handle_poison()
failed.
Add __hugepage_handle_poison() and replace __page_handle_poison() at
HugeTLB specific call sites. The being handled HugeTLB page either
is free at the moment of try_memory_failure_hugetlb(), or becomes
free at the moment of me_huge_page().
