From 2a7684a23e9c263c2a1e8b2c0027ad1836a0f9df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:50:12 +0200 Subject: HWPOISON: check and isolate corrupted free pages v2 If memory corruption hits the free buddy pages, we can safely ignore them. No one will access them until page allocation time, then prep_new_page() will automatically check and isolate PG_hwpoison page for us (for 0-order allocation). This patch expands prep_new_page() to check every component page in a high order page allocation, in order to completely stop PG_hwpoison pages from being recirculated. Note that the common case -- only allocating a single page, doesn't do any more work than before. Allocating > order 0 does a bit more work, but that's relatively uncommon. This simple implementation may drop some innocent neighbor pages, hopefully it is not a big problem because the event should be rare enough. This patch adds some runtime costs to high order page users. [AK: Improved description] v2: Andi Kleen: Port to -mm code Move check into separate function. Don't dump stack in bad_pages for hwpoisoned pages.
