[PATCH 3.13 161/212] hwpoison, hugetlb: lock_page/unlock_page does not match for handling a free hugepage

From: Kamal Mostafa <hidden>

Subsystem: hwpoison memory failure handling, memory management, the rest · Maintainers: Miaohe Lin, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

3.13.11.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Chen Yucong <redacted>

commit b985194c8c0a130ed155b71662e39f7eaea4876f upstream.

For handling a free hugepage in memory failure, the race will happen if
another thread hwpoisoned this hugepage concurrently.  So we need to
check PageHWPoison instead of !PageHWPoison.

If hwpoison_filter(p) returns true or a race happens, then we need to
unlock_page(hpage).
