mm/memory-failure: unlock_page before put_page
Recently I addressed a few of hwpoison race problems and the patches are
merged on v4.2-rc1. It made progress, but unfortunately some problems
still remain due to less coverage of my testing. So I'm trying to fix
or avoid them in this series.
One point I'm expecting to discuss is that patch 4/5 changes the page
flag set to be checked on free time. In current behavior, __PG_HWPOISON
is not supposed to be set when the page is freed. I think that there is
no strong reason for this behavior, and it causes a problem hard to fix
only in error handler side (because __PG_HWPOISON could be set at
arbitrary timing.) So I suggest to change it.
With this patchset, hwpoison stress testing in official mce-test
testsuite (which previously failed) passes.
This patch (of 5):
In "just unpoisoned" path, we do put_page and then unlock_page, which is
a wrong order and causes "freeing locked page" bug. So let's fix it.
