Subject[PATCH] hwpoison: Fix race with changing page during offlining v2
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When a hwpoison page is locked it could change state
due to parallel modifications. Check after the lock
if the page is still the same compound page.

[v2: Removed earlier non LRU check which should be already
covered elsewhere]
