The patch titled
Subject: mm: hugetlb: soft-offline: dissolve_free_huge_page() return zero on !PageHuge
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-hugetlb-soft-offline-dissolve_free_huge_page-return-zero-on-pagehuge.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm: hugetlb: soft-offline: dissolve_free_huge_page() return zero on !PageHuge
madvise(MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) often returns -EBUSY when calling soft offline
for hugepages with overcommitting enabled. That was caused by the
suboptimal code in current soft-offline code. See the following part:
ret = migrate_pages(&pagelist, new_page, NULL, MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL,
MIGRATE_SYNC, MR_MEMORY_FAILURE);
if (ret) {
...
} else {
/*
* We set PG_hwpoison only when the migration source hugepage
* was successfully dissolved, because otherwise hwpoisoned
* hugepage remains on free hugepage list, then userspace will
* find it as SIGBUS by allocation failure. That's not expected
* in soft-offlining.
*/
ret = dissolve_free_huge_page(page);
if (!ret) {
if (set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page(page))
num_poisoned_pages_inc();
}
}
return ret;
Here dissolve_free_huge_page() returns -EBUSY if the migration source page
was freed into buddy in migrate_pages(), but even in that case we actually
has a chance that set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() succeeds. So that means
current code gives up offlining too early now.
dissolve_free_huge_page() checks that a given hugepage is suitable for
dissolving, where we should return success for !PageHuge() case because
the given hugepage is considered as already dissolved.
This change also affects other callers of dissolve_free_huge_page(), which
are cleaned up together.
