Subject: mm,hwpoison: drain pcplists before bailing out for non-buddy zero-refcount page
Patch series "HWpoison: further fixes and cleanups", v5.
This patchset includes some more fixes and a cleanup.
Patch#2 and patch#3 are both fixes for taking a HWpoison page off a buddy
freelist, since having them there has proved to be bad (see [1] and
pathch#2's commit log). Patch#3 does the same for hugetlb pages.
[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/22/565
This patch (of 4):
A page with 0-refcount and !PageBuddy could perfectly be a pcppage.
Currently, we bail out with an error if we encounter such a page, meaning
that we do not handle pcppages neither from hard-offline nor from
soft-offline path.
Fix this by draining pcplists whenever we find this kind of page and retry
the check again. It might be that pcplists have been spilled into the
buddy allocator and so we can handle it.
