From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/hwpoison: fix fail isolate hugetlbfs page w/ refcount held Hugetlbfs pages will get a refcount in get_any_page() or madvise_hwpoison() if soft offlining through madvise. The refcount which is held by the soft offline path should be released if we fail to isolate hugetlbfs pages. Fix it by reducing the refcount for both isolation success and failure.
