From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory-failure.c: fix race with changing page more robustly We're only intended to deal with the non-Compound page after we split thp in memory_failure. However, the page could have changed compound pages due to race window. If this happens, we could retry once to hopefully handle the page next round. Also remove unneeded orig_head. It's always equal to the hpage. So we can use hpage directly and remove this redundant one.
