This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mm/memory-failure.c: move refcount only in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 3044abba2c849022581f3177796f9ff841a1239d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 14:25:50 -0800 Subject: mm/memory-failure.c: move refcount only in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED commit 8d547ff4ac5927245e0833ac18528f939da0ee0e upstream. mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail page. This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e47d5e ("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page. When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes little sense. This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid testing.
