From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/memory-failure: call shake_page() when error hits thp tail page
Currently memory_failure() calls shake_page() to sweep pages out from
pcplists only when the victim page is 4kB LRU page or thp head page. But
we should do this for a thp tail page too.
Consider that a memory error hits a thp tail page whose head page is on a
pcplist when memory_failure() runs. Then, the current kernel skips
shake_pages() part, so hwpoison_user_mappings() returns without calling
split_huge_page() nor try_to_unmap() because PageLRU of the thp head is
still cleared due to the skip of shake_page().
As a result, me_huge_page() runs for the thp, which is broken behavior.
This patch fixes this problem by calling shake_page() for thp tail case.
Fixes: 385de35722c9 ("thp: allow a hwpoisoned head page to be put back to LRU")
