Patch series "mm: madvise: return correct bytes processed with
process_madvise", v2. With the process_madvise(), always choose to return
non zero processed bytes over an error. This can help the user to know on
which VMA, passed in the 'struct iovec' vector list, is failed to advise
thus can take the decission of retrying/skipping on that VMA.
This patch (of 2):
The process_madvise() system call returns error even after processing some
VMA's passed in the 'struct iovec' vector list which leaves the user
confused to know where to restart the advise next. It is also against
this syscall man page[1] documentation where it mentions that "return
value may be less than the total number of requested bytes, if an error
occurred after some iovec elements were already processed.".
Consider a user passed 10 VMA's in the 'struct iovec' vector list of which
9 are processed but one. Then it just returns the error caused on that
failed VMA despite the first 9 VMA's processed, leaving the user confused
about on which VMA it is failed. Returning the number of bytes processed
here can help the user to know which VMA it is failed on and thus can
retry/skip the advise on that VMA.

When faults in from swap what used to be a KSM page and that page had been
swapped in before, system has to make a copy, and leaves remerging the

That is not good for performace, we'd better to reduce this kind of copy.
There are some ways to reduce it, for example lessen swappiness or

Once upon a time, all swapins counted toward memory pressure[1]. Then
Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we gained
the ability to distinguish hot from cold swapins[2][3]. But we failed to
update swap_readpage() accordingly, and now we account partial memory
pressure in the swapin path of cold memory.
Not for all situations - which adds more inconsistency: paths using the
conventional submit_bio() and lock_page() route will not see much pressure
- unless storage itself is heavily congested and the bio submissions
stall. ZRAM and ZSWAP do most of the work directly from swap_readpage()
and will see all swapins reflected as pressure.
IOW, a workload doing cold swapins could see little to no pressure
reported with on-disk swap, but potentially high pressure with a zram or
zswap backend. That confuses any psi-based health monitoring, load
shedding, proactive reclaim, or userspace OOM killing schemes that might
be in place for the workload.
Restore consistency by making all swapin stall accounting conditional on
the page actually being part of the workingset.

If the NUMA balancing isn't used to optimize the page placement among
sockets but only among memory types, the hot pages in the fast memory
node couldn't be migrated (promoted) to anywhere. So it's unnecessary
to scan the pages in the fast memory node via changing their PTE/PMD
mapping to be PROT_NONE. So that the page faults could be avoided too.
In the test, if only the memory tiering NUMA balancing mode is enabled,
the number of the NUMA balancing hint faults for the DRAM node is
reduced to almost 0 with the patch. While the benchmark score doesn't
change visibly.

With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are usually
different.
In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc,
some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this
patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page
placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold
dynamically.
In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow
memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be
put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory
will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node).
That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is
regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in
the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the
existing NUMA balancing mechanism.
The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the
free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This
is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes
the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize
page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows.
It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is
larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's
unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always
no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot
pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory
node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows,
a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages
from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will
create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger
the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory
node will be demoted to the slow memory node.
b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than
wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach
such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote
hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free
pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake
up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and
free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we
might have a chance of doing so.
The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node.
If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure
may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload
is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered.
The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory
pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop
earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the
normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented.
A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the
high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor.
In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets,
the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page
placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the
sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward
compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these
functionality individually.
The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The
definition of the flags is,
- 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED
- 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL
- 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent
Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can
improve up to 95.9%.

Patch series "NUMA balancing: optimize memory placement for memory tiering system", v13
With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are different.
After commit c221c0b030 ("device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for
use like normal RAM"), the PMEM could be used as the cost-effective
volatile memory in separate NUMA nodes. In a typical memory tiering
system, there are CPUs, DRAM and PMEM in each physical NUMA node. The
CPUs and the DRAM will be put in one logical node, while the PMEM will
be put in another (faked) logical node.
To optimize the system overall performance, the hot pages should be
placed in DRAM node. To do that, we need to identify the hot pages in
the PMEM node and migrate them to DRAM node via NUMA migration.
In the original NUMA balancing, there are already a set of existing
mechanisms to identify the pages recently accessed by the CPUs in a node
and migrate the pages to the node. So we can reuse these mechanisms to
build the mechanisms to optimize the page placement in the memory
tiering system. This is implemented in this patchset.
At the other hand, the cold pages should be placed in PMEM node. So, we
also need to identify the cold pages in the DRAM node and migrate them
to PMEM node.
In commit 26aa2d199d ("mm/migrate: demote pages during reclaim"), a
mechanism to demote the cold DRAM pages to PMEM node under memory
pressure is implemented. Based on that, the cold DRAM pages can be
demoted to PMEM node proactively to free some memory space on DRAM node
to accommodate the promoted hot PMEM pages. This is implemented in this
patchset too.
We have tested the solution with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent Memory
Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can improve up to
95.9%.
This patch (of 3):
In a system with multiple memory types, e.g. DRAM and PMEM, the CPU
and DRAM in one socket will be put in one NUMA node as before, while
the PMEM will be put in another NUMA node as described in the
description of the commit c221c0b030 ("device-dax: "Hotplug"
persistent memory for use like normal RAM"). So, the NUMA balancing
mechanism will identify all PMEM accesses as remote access and try to
promote the PMEM pages to DRAM.
To distinguish the number of the inter-type promoted pages from that of
the inter-socket migrated pages. A new vmstat count is added. The
counter is per-node (count in the target node). So this can be used to
identify promotion imbalance among the NUMA nodes.

With commit a4e92ce8e4 ("powerpc/fadump: Reservationless firmware
assisted dump"), Linux kernel's Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) based
reservation was introduced in fadump. That change was aimed at using CMA
to let applications utilize the memory reserved for fadump while blocking
it from being used for kernel pages. The assumption was, even if CMA
activation fails for whatever reason, the memory still remains reserved to
avoid it from being used for kernel pages. But commit 072355c1cf
("mm/cma: expose all pages to the buddy if activation of an area fails")
breaks this assumption as it started exposing all pages to buddy allocator
on CMA activation failure. It led to warning messages like below while
running crash-utility on vmcore of a kernel having above two commits:
crash: seek error: kernel virtual address: <from reserved region>
To fix this problem, opt out from exposing pages to buddy allocator on CMA
activation failure for fadump reserved memory.

Migration entries do not contribute to a page's reference count: move
__split_huge_pmd_locked()'s page_ref_add() into pmd_migration's else
block (along with the page_count() check - a page is quite likely to
have reference count frozen to 0 when a migration entry is found).
This will fix a very rare anonymous memory leak, after a
split_huge_pmd() raced with an anon split_huge_page() or an anon THP
migrate_pages(): since the wrongly raised refcount stopped the page
(perhaps small, perhaps huge, depending on when the race hit) from ever
being freed.
At first I thought there were worse risks, from prematurely unfreezing a
frozen page: but now think that would only affect page cache pages,
which do not come this way (except for anonymous pages in swap cache,
perhaps).

When memory is tight, system may start to compact memory for large
continuous memory demands. If one process tries to lock a memory page
that is being locked and isolated for compaction, it may wait a long time
or even forever. This is because compaction will perform non-atomic
PG_Isolated clear while holding page lock, this may overwrite PG_waiters
set by the process that can't obtain the page lock and add itself to the
waiting queue to wait for the lock to be unlocked.
CPU1 CPU2
lock_page(page); (successful)

The solution is to not perform non-atomic operation on page flags while

In commit ac16ec8353 ("mm: migrate: support multiple target nodes
demotion"), after the first demotion target node is found, we will
continue to check the next candidate obtained via find_next_best_node().
This is to find all demotion target nodes with same NUMA distance. But
one side effect of find_next_best_node() is that the candidate node
returned will be set in "used" parameter, even if the candidate node isn't
passed in the following NUMA distance checking, the candidate node will
not be used as demotion target node for the following nodes. For example,
for system as follows,
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 21 17 28
1: 21 10 28 17
2: 17 28 10 28
3: 28 17 28 10
when we establish demotion target node for node 0, in the first round node
2 is added to the demotion target node set. Then in the second round,
node 3 is checked and failed because distance(0, 3) > distance(0, 2). But
node 3 is set in "used" nodemask too. When we establish demotion target
node for node 1, there is no available node. This is wrong, node 3 should
be set as the demotion target of node 1.
To fix this, if the candidate node is failed to pass the distance
checking, it will be cleared in "used" nodemask. So that it can be used
for the following node.
The bug can be reproduced and fixed with this patch on a 2 socket server
machine with DRAM and PMEM.

v2.6.34 commit 9d8cebd4bc ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem") introduced
vma_merge() to mbind_range(); but unlike madvise, mlock and mprotect, it
put a "continue" to next vma where its precedents go to update flags on
current vma before advancing: that left vma with the wrong setting in the
infamous vma_merge() case 8.
v3.10 commit 1444f92c84 ("mm: merging memory blocks resets mempolicy")
tried to fix that in vma_adjust(), without fully understanding the issue.
v3.11 commit 3964acd0db ("mm: mempolicy: fix mbind_range() &&

right way, but chose to optimize out an unnecessary mpol_dup() with a
prior mpol_equal() test. But on tmpfs, that also pessimized out the vital
call to its ->set_policy(), leaving the new mbind unenforced.
The user visible effect was that the pages got allocated on the local
node (happened to be 0), after the mbind() caller had specifically
asked for them to be allocated on node 1. There was not any page
migration involved in the case reported: the pages simply got allocated
on the wrong node.
Just delete that optimization now (though it could be made conditional on
vma not having a set_policy). Also remove the "next" variable: it turned
out to be blameless, but also pointless.

Commit 68d48e6a2d ("mm: workingset: add vmstat counter for shadow

also disabled interrupts. This does not work the same way on PREEMPT_RT
because none of the locks, that are held, disable interrupts.
Replace this check with a lockdep assert which ensures that the lock is

On systems that run FIFO:1 applications that busy loop, any SCHED_OTHER
task that attempts to execute on such a CPU (such as work threads) will
not be scheduled, which leads to system hangs.
Commit d479960e44 ("mm: disable LRU pagevec during the migration
temporarily") relies on queueing work items on all online CPUs to ensure
visibility of lru_disable_count.
To fix this, replace the usage of work items with synchronize_rcu,
which provides the same guarantees.
Readers of lru_disable_count are protected by either disabling
preemption or rcu_read_lock:
preempt_disable, local_irq_disable [bh_lru_lock()]
rcu_read_lock [rt_spin_lock CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT]
preempt_disable [local_lock !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT]
Since v5.1 kernel, synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to wait on
preempt_disable() regions of code. So any CPU which sees
lru_disable_count = 0 will have exited the critical section when
synchronize_rcu() returns.

Since commit 2c80cd57c7 ("mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node() to
be race free"), we are tracking the total number of lru entries in a
list_lru_node in its nr_items field.
In the case of memcg_reparent_list_lru_node(), there is nothing to be
done if nr_items is 0. We don't even need to take the nlru->lock as no
new lru entry could be added by a racing list_lru_add() to the draining
src_idx memcg at this point.
On systems that serve a lot of containers, it is possible that there can
be thousands of list_lru's present due to the fact that each container
may mount its own container specific filesystems. As a typical
container uses only a few cpus, it is likely that only the list_lru_node
that contains those cpus will be utilized while the rests may be empty.
In other words, there can be a lot of list_lru_node with 0 nr_items.
By skipping a lock/unlock operation and loading a cacheline from
memcg_lrus, a sizeable number of cpu cycles can be saved. That can be
substantial if we are talking about thousands of list_lru_node's with 0
nr_items.

__isolate_lru_page_prepare() conflates two unrelated functions, with the
flags to one disjoint from the flags to the other; and hides some of the
important checks outside of isolate_migratepages_block(), where the
sequence is better to be visible. It comes from the days of lumpy
reclaim, before compaction, when the combination made more sense.
Move what's needed by mm/compaction.c isolate_migratepages_block() inline
there, and what's needed by mm/vmscan.c isolate_lru_pages() inline there.
Shorten "isolate_mode" to "mode", so the sequence of conditions is easier
to read. Declare a "mapping" variable, to save one call to page_mapping()
(but not another: calling again after page is locked is necessary).
Simplify isolate_lru_pages() with a "move_to" list pointer.

Userfaultfd is supposed to provide the full address (i.e., unmasked) of
the faulting access back to userspace. However, that is not the case for
quite some time.
Even running "userfaultfd_demo" from the userfaultfd man page provides the
wrong output (and contradicts the man page). Notice that
"UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event" shows the masked address (7fc5e30b3000) and
not the first read address (0x7fc5e30b300f).
Address returned by mmap() = 0x7fc5e30b3000
fault_handler_thread():
poll() returns: nready = 1; POLLIN = 1; POLLERR = 0
UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event: flags = 0; address = 7fc5e30b3000
(uffdio_copy.copy returned 4096)
Read address 0x7fc5e30b300f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b340f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b380f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b3c0f in main(): A
The exact address is useful for various reasons and specifically for
prefetching decisions. If it is known that the memory is populated by
certain objects whose size is not page-aligned, then based on the faulting
address, the uffd-monitor can decide whether to prefetch and prefault the
adjacent page.
This bug has been for quite some time in the kernel: since commit
1a29d85eb0 ("mm: use vmf->address instead of of vmf->virtual_address")
vmf->virtual_address"), which dates back to 2016. A concern has been
raised that existing userspace application might rely on the old/wrong
behavior in which the address is masked. Therefore, it was suggested to
provide the masked address unless the user explicitly asks for the exact
address.
Add a new userfaultfd feature UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS to direct
userfaultfd to provide the exact address. Add a new "real_address" field
to vmf to hold the unmasked address. Provide the address to userspace
accordingly.
Initialize real_address in various code-paths to be consistent with
address, even when it is not used, to be on the safe side.

Since the head vmemmap page frame associated with each HugeTLB page is
reused, we should hide the PG_head flag of tail struct page from the
user. Add a tese case to check whether it is work properly. The test
steps are as follows.
1) alloc 2MB hugeTLB
2) get each page frame
3) apply those APIs in each page frame
4) Those APIs work completely the same as before.
Reading the flags of a page by /proc/kpageflags is done in
stable_page_flags(), which has invoked PageHead(), PageTail(),
PageCompound() and compound_head().
If those APIs work properly, the head page must have 15 and 17 bits set.
And tail pages must have 16 and 17 bits set but 15 bit unset. Those
flags are checked in check_page_flags().

The init_mm.page_table_lock is used to protect kernel page tables, we
can use it to serialize splitting vmemmap PMD mappings instead of mmap
write lock, which can increase the concurrency of vmemmap_remap_free().
Actually, It increase the concurrency between allocations of HugeTLB
pages. But it is not the only benefit. There are a lot of users of
mmap read lock of init_mm. The mmap write lock is holding through
vmemmap_remap_free(), removing mmap write lock usage to make it does not
affect other users of mmap read lock. It is not making anything worse
and always a win to move.
Now the kernel page table walker does not hold the page_table_lock when
walking pmd entries. There may be consistency issue of a pmd entry,
because pmd entry might change from a huge pmd entry to a PTE page
table. There is only one user of kernel page table walker, namely
ptdump. The ptdump already considers the consistency, which use a local
variable to cache the value of pmd entry. But we also need to update
->action to ACTION_CONTINUE to make sure the walker does not walk every
pte entry again when concurrent thread has split the huge pmd.

The page_fixed_fake_head() is used throughout memory management and the
conditional check requires checking a global variable, although the
overhead of this check may be small, it increases when the memory cache
comes under pressure. Also, the global variable will not be modified
after system boot, so it is very appropriate to use static key machanism.

Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB
page", v7.
This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB
pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by
12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means
2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are
welcome. Thanks.
The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch
1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the
following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers.
+------------------+-----------------------+
| APIs | head page | tail page |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageHead() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageTail() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageCompound() | N | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| compound_head() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
Y: Overhead is increased.
N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased.
It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change
between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the
overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on"
(except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series
will help with this.
The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head()
and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests
about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages.
I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page,
which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times
compound_head(), and then average).
For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a
non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is
increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with
PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by
40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is
significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low.

This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages
significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5%
for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per
1TB HugeTLB (2MB type).
After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is
enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB
HugeTLB page becomes the figure below.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head
| | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 1 | -------------> | 1 |

As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and
remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to
the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure
above to the figure below.

After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head
vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page
struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that
there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are
fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those
two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead()
and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct
but with PG_head.
The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and
fake head page struct.
if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) {
unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head);
if (head & 1) {
if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1)
==> head page struct
else
==> tail page struct
} else
==> head page struct
}
We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the
@page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

The mm/ directory can almost fully be built with W=1, which would help
in local development. One remaining issue is missing prototype for
should_fail_alloc_page(). Thus add it next to the should_failslab()
prototype.
Note the previous attempt by commit f717309003 ("mm/page_alloc: make
should_fail_alloc_page() static") had to be reverted by commit
54aa386661 as it caused an unresolved symbol error with

We can not really handle non-LRU movable pages in memory failure.
Typically they are balloon, zsmalloc, etc.
Assuming we run into a base (4K) non-LRU movable page, we could reach as
far as identify_page_state(), it should not fall into any category
except me_unknown.
For the non-LRU compound movable pages, they could be taken for
transhuge pages but it's unexpected to split non-LRU movable pages using
split_huge_page_to_list in memory_failure. So we could just simply make
non-LRU movable pages unhandlable to avoid these possible nasty cases.

Since commit 042c4f32323b ("mm/truncate: Inline invalidate_complete_page()
into its one caller"), invalidate_inode_page() can invalidate the pages
in the swap cache because the check of page->mapping != mapping is
removed. But invalidate_inode_page() is not expected to deal with the
pages in swap cache. Also non-lru movable page can reach here too.
They're not page cache pages. Skip these pages by checking
PageSwapCache and PageLRU.

Patch series "A few fixup patches for memory failure", v2.
This series contains a few patches to fix the race with changing page
compound page, make non-LRU movable pages unhandlable and so on. More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.
There is a race window where we got the compound_head, the hugetlb page
could be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page just
before we try to get hwpoison page. Think about the below race window:
CPU 1 CPU 2
memory_failure_hugetlb
struct page *head = compound_head(p);
hugetlb page might be freed to
buddy, or even changed to another
compound page.
get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now...
If this race happens, just bail out. Also MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_PAGE_SIZE is
introduced to record this event.

After successfully obtaining the reference count of the huge page, it is
still necessary to call hwpoison_filter() to make a filter judgement,
otherwise the filter hugepage will be unmaped and the related process
may be killed.

When the hwpoison page meets the filter conditions, it should not be
regarded as successful memory_failure() processing for mce handler, but
should return a distinct value, otherwise mce handler regards the error
page has been identified and isolated, which may lead to calling
set_mce_nospec() to change page attribute, etc.
Here memory_failure() return -EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that the error
event is filtered, mce handler should not take any action for this
situation and hwpoison injector should treat as correct.

We're only intended to deal with the non-Compound page after we split
thp in memory_failure. However, the page could have changed compound
pages due to race window. If this happens, we could retry once to
hopefully handle the page next round. Also remove unneeded orig_head.
It's always equal to the hpage. So we can use hpage directly and remove
this redundant one.

It's unexpected to walk the page table when vma_address() return
-EFAULT. But dev_pagemap_mapping_shift() is called only when vma
associated to the error page is found already in
collect_procs_{file,anon}, so vma_address() should not return -EFAULT
except with some bug, as Naoya pointed out. We can use VM_BUG_ON_VMA()
to catch this bug here.
