Subject[PATCH 3.18 28/32] mm/memory-failure.c: use compound_head() flags for huge pages
Date
3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com>

commit 7258ae5c5a2ce2f5969e8b18b881be40ab55433d upstream.

memory_failure() chooses a recovery action function based on the page
flags. For huge pages it uses the tail page flags which don't have
anything interesting set, resulting in:

> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: Unknown page state
> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: recovery action for unknown page: Failed

Instead, save a copy of the head page's flags if this is a huge page,
this means if there are no relevant flags for this tail page, we use the
head pages flags instead. This results in the me_huge_page() recovery
action being called:

> Memory failure: 0x9b7969: recovery action for huge page: Delayed

For hugepages that have not yet been allocated, this allows the hugepage
to be dequeued.

Fixes: 524fca1e7356 ("HWPOISON: fix misjudgement of page_action() for errors on mlocked pages")
