In other word, the result of handling either of these victimized page frames is (IGNORED | FAILED), and the return value of memory_failure() is -EBUSY. This patch is to avoid that memory_failure() returns very soon due to the "true" value of (!PageLRU(p)), and it also ensures that action_result() can report more precise information("reserved kernel", "kernel slab", and "unknown page state") instead of "non LRU", especially for memory errors which are detected by memory-scrubbing. Andi said: : While running the mcelog test suite on 3.14 I hit the following VM_BUG_ON: : : soft_offline: 0x56d4: unknown non LRU page type 3ffff800008000 : page:ffffea000015b400 count:3 mapcount:2097169 mapping: (null) index:0xffff8800056d7000 : page flags: 0x3ffff800004081(locked|slab|head) : ------------[ cut here ]------------ : kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1495! : : I think what happened is that a LRU page turned into a slab page in : parallel with offlining. memory_failure initially tests for this case, : but doesn't retest later after the page has been locked. : : ... : : I ran this patch in a loop over night with some stress plus : the mcelog test suite running in a loop. I cannot guarantee it hit it, : but it should have given it a good beating. : : The kernel survived with no messages, although the mcelog test suite : got killed at some point because it couldn't fork anymore. Probably : some unrelated problem. : : So the patch is ok for me for .16.
