4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

commit b15c87263a69272423771118c653e9a1d0672caa upstream.

We have received a bug report that an injected MCE about faulty memory
prevents memory offline to succeed on 4.4 base kernel.  The underlying
reason was that the HWPoison page has an elevated reference count and the
migration keeps failing.  There are two problems with that.  First of all
it is dubious to migrate the poisoned page because we know that accessing
that memory is possible to fail.  Secondly it doesn't make any sense to
migrate a potentially broken content and preserve the memory corruption
over to a new location.

Oscar has found out that 4.4 and the current upstream kernels behave
slightly differently with his simply testcase

===

int main(void)
{
        int ret;
        int i;
        int fd;
        char *array = malloc(4096);
        char *array_locked = malloc(4096);

        fd = open("/tmp/data", O_RDONLY);
        read(fd, array, 4095);

        for (i = 0; i < 4096; i++)
                array_locked[i] = 'd';

        ret = mlock((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), sizeof(array_locked));
        if (ret)
                perror("mlock");

        sleep (20);

        ret = madvise((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), 4096, MADV_HWPOISON);
        if (ret)
                perror("madvise");

        for (i = 0; i < 4096; i++)
                array_locked[i] = 'd';

        return 0;
}

+ offline this memory.

In 4.4 kernels he saw the hwpoisoned page to be returned back to the LRU
list

And that latter confuses the hotremove path because an LRU page is
attempted to be migrated and that fails due to an elevated reference
count.  It is quite possible that the reuse of the HWPoisoned page is some
kind of fixed race condition but I am not really sure about that.

With the upstream kernel the failure is slightly different.  The page
doesn't seem to have LRU bit set but isolate_movable_page simply fails and
do_migrate_range simply puts all the isolated pages back to LRU and
therefore no progress is made and scan_movable_pages finds same set of
pages over and over again.

Fix both cases by explicitly checking HWPoisoned pages before we even try
to get reference on the page, try to unmap it if it is still mapped.  As
explained by Naoya:

: Hwpoison code never unmapped those for no big reason because
: Ksm pages never dominate memory, so we simply didn't have strong
: motivation to save the pages.

Also put WARN_ON(PageLRU) in case there is a race and we can hit LRU
HWPoison pages which shouldn't happen but I couldn't convince myself about
that.  Naoya has noted the following:

: Theoretically no such gurantee, because try_to_unmap() doesn't have a
: guarantee of success and then memory_failure() returns immediately
: when hwpoison_user_mappings fails.
: Or the following code (comes after hwpoison_user_mappings block) also impli=
: es
: that the target page can still have PageLRU flag.
:
:         /*
:          * Torn down by someone else?
:          */
:         if (PageLRU(p) && !PageSwapCache(p) && p->mapping =3D=3D NULL) {
:                 action_result(pfn, MF_MSG_TRUNCATED_LRU, MF_IGNORED);
:                 res =3D -EBUSY;
:                 goto out;
:         }
:
: So I think it's OK to keep "if (WARN_ON(PageLRU(page)))" block in
: current version of your patch.
