From 7d1900c744b2e4687b3e467edf58373c02bcf22d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2015 15:03:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/hwpoison: fix failure to split thp w/ refcount held THP pages will get a refcount in madvise_hwpoison() w/ MF_COUNT_INCREASED flag, however, the refcount is still held when fail to split THP pages. Fix it by reducing the refcount of THP pages when fail to split THP.
