From: zhongjiang <zhongjiang@xxxxxxxxxx> When soft_offline_in_use_page() runs on a thp tail page after pmd is plit, we trigger the following VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(): Memory failure: 0x3755ff: non anonymous thp __get_any_page: 0x3755ff: unknown zero refcount page type 2fffff80000000 Soft offlining pfn 0x34d805 at process virtual address 0x20fff000 page:ffffea000d360140 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x1 flags: 0x2fffff80000000() raw: 002fffff80000000 ffffea000d360108 ffffea000d360188 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ./include/linux/mm.h:519! soft_offline_in_use_page() passed refcount and page lock from tail page to head page, which is not needed because we can pass any subpage to split_huge_page().
