From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: check_new_page_bad() directly returns in __PG_HWPOISON case Currently we check page->flags twice for "HWPoisoned" case of check_new_page_bad(), which can cause a race with unpoisoning. This race unnecessarily taints kernel with "BUG: Bad page state". check_new_page_bad() is the only caller of bad_page() which is interested in __PG_HWPOISON, so let's move the hwpoison related code in bad_page() to it.
