[PATCH 4/4] mm: hwpoison: handle non-anonymous THP correctly

From: Yang Shi <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-14 18:37:45
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: hwpoison memory failure handling, memory management, the rest · Maintainers: Miaohe Lin, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

Currently hwpoison doesn't handle non-anonymous THP, but since v4.8 THP
support for tmpfs and read-only file cache has been added.  They could
be offlined by split THP, just like anonymous THP.
