Hi Andi and Fengguang,
"There are not so many free pages in a typical server system", sorry I don't
quite understand it.
buffered_rmqueue()
prep_new_page()
check_new_page()
bad_page()
If we alloc 2^10 pages and one of them is a poisoned page, then the whole 4M
memory will be dropped.
Thanks,
Xishi Qiu
