The unmapped hugetlb page could not be poisoned when the tail
page is poisoned.
The reason is because the PG_hwpoison of head page is checked
before setting PG_hwpoison on other pages of the hugetlb page.
- If the head page is not poisoned, the rest pages of
hugetlb page will not be set with PG_hwpoison;
- If the head page is poisoned, poisoning for the hugetlb page
has been finished by other context running simultaneously.
Usually the head page here is not poisoned yet, so __memory_failure()
will return without poisoning the rest pages of hugetlb page.
As it is described in the comment(in __memory_failure()):
994 /*
995 * Check "just unpoisoned", "filter hit", and
996 * "race with other subpage."
997 */
I think the real checking expected here is "just unpoisoned",
whether the tail page just poisoned by this context is still
poisoned or not. It should be realized by checking agaist
the poisoned tail page, not against the head page.
