When the hwpoison page meets the filter conditions, it should not be
regarded as successful memory_failure() processing for mce handler, but
should return a distinct value, otherwise mce handler regards the error
page has been identified and isolated, which may lead to calling
set_mce_nospec() to change page attribute, etc.
Here memory_failure() return -EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that the error
event is filtered, mce handler should not take any action for this
situation and hwpoison injector should treat as correct.

In the current implementation of soft offline, if non-LRU page is met,
all the slab caches will be dropped to free the page then offline. But
if the page is not slab page all the effort is wasted in vain. Even
though it is a slab page, it is not guaranteed the page could be freed
at all.
However the side effect and cost is quite high. It does not only drop
the slab caches, but also may drop a significant amount of page caches
which are associated with inode caches. It could make the most
workingset gone in order to just offline a page. And the offline is not
guaranteed to succeed at all, actually I really doubt the success rate
for real life workload.
Furthermore the worse consequence is the system may be locked up and
unusable since the page cache release may incur huge amount of works
queued for memcg release.
Actually we ran into such unpleasant case in our production environment.
Firstly, the workqueue of memory_failure_work_func is locked up as
below:
BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 53s!
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:

There were over 12K css_release_work_fn queued, and this caused a few
lockups due to the contention of worker pool lock with IRQ disabled, for
example:

The lockup made the machine is quite unusable. And it also made the
most workingset gone, the reclaimabled slab caches were reduced from 12G
to 300MB, the page caches were decreased from 17G to 4G.
But the most disappointing thing is all the effort doesn't make the page
offline, it just returns:
soft_offline: 0x1469f2: unknown non LRU page type 5ffff0000000000 ()
It seems the aggressive behavior for non-LRU page didn't pay back, so it
doesn't make too much sense to keep it considering the terrible side
effect.

shake_page() is called before going into core error handling code in
order to ensure that the error page is flushed from lru_cache lists
where pages stay during transferring among LRU lists.
But currently it's not fully functional because when the page is linked
to lru_cache by calling activate_page(), its PageLRU flag is set and
shake_page() is skipped. The result is to fail error handling with
"still referenced by 1 users" message.
When the page is linked to lru_cache by isolate_lru_page(), its PageLRU
is clear, so that's fine.
This patch makes shake_page() unconditionally called to avoild the
failure.

Hwpoison allows to filter pages by memory cgroup ino. Currently, it
calls try_get_mem_cgroup_from_page to obtain the cgroup from a page and
then its ino using cgroup_ino, but now we have a helper method for
that, page_cgroup_ino, so use it instead.
This patch also loosens the hwpoison memcg filter dependency rules - it
makes it depend on CONFIG_MEMCG instead of CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP, because
hwpoison memcg filter does not require anything (nor it used to) from
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP side.

Hwpoison injection takes a refcount of target page and another refcount
of head page of THP if the target page is the tail page of a THP.
However, current code doesn't release the refcount of head page if the
THP is not supported to be injected wrt hwpoison filter.
Fix it by reducing the refcount of head page if the target page is the
tail page of a THP and it is not supported to be injected.

handling
memory_failure() can run in 2 different mode (specified by
MF_COUNT_INCREASED) in page refcount perspective. When
MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set, memory_failure() assumes that the caller
takes a refcount of the target page. And if cleared, memory_failure()
takes it in it's own.
In current code, however, refcounting is done differently in each caller.
For example, madvise_hwpoison() uses get_user_pages_fast() and
hwpoison_inject() uses get_page_unless_zero(). So this inconsistent
refcounting causes refcount failure especially for thp tail pages.
Typical user visible effects are like memory leak or
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(page)) in isolate_lru_page().
To fix this refcounting issue, this patch introduces get_hwpoison_page()
to handle thp tail pages in the same manner for each caller of hwpoison
code.
memory_failure() might fail to split thp and in such case it returns
without completing page isolation. This is not good because PageHWPoison
on the thp is still set and there's no easy way to unpoison such thps. So
this patch try to roll back any action to the thp in "non anonymous thp"
case and "thp split failed" case, expecting an MCE(SRAR) generated by
later access afterward will properly free such thps.

This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page
offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just
tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the
page away.
This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has
a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead
it can be offlined early and avoided.
The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic
entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too.
We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation
race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid
races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep().
This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about
to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work.
This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution
currently.
When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages
from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently
quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab
cache which might own the page. This could be potentially
improved later.
Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes.

can inject errors through madvise syscall to its own pages, however it
might not know what the page state exactly is or which inode the page
belongs to.
So introduce an one-off interface "corrupt-filter-enable".
Echo 0 to switch off page filters, and echo 1 to switch on the filters.

The hwpoison test suite need to inject hwpoison to a collection of
selected task pages, and must not touch pages not owned by them and
thus kill important system processes such as init. (But it's OK to
mis-hwpoison free/unowned pages as well as shared clean pages.
Mis-hwpoison of shared dirty pages will kill all tasks, so the test
suite will target all or non of such tasks in the first place.)
The memory cgroup serves this purpose well. We can put the target
processes under the control of a memory cgroup, and tell the hwpoison
injection code to only kill pages associated with some active memory
cgroup.
The prerequisite for doing hwpoison stress tests with mem_cgroup is,
the mem_cgroup code tracks task pages _accurately_ (unless page is
locked). Which we believe is/should be true.
The benefits are simplification of hwpoison injector code. Also the
mem_cgroup code will automatically be tested by hwpoison test cases.
The alternative interfaces pin-pfn/unpin-pfn can also delegate the
(process and page flags) filtering functions reliably to user space.
However prototype implementation shows that this scheme adds more
complexity than we wanted.
Example test case:
mkdir /cgroup/hwpoison
usemem -m 100 -s 1000 &
echo `jobs -p` > /cgroup/hwpoison/tasks
memcg_ino=$(ls -id /cgroup/hwpoison | cut -f1 -d' ')
echo $memcg_ino > /debug/hwpoison/corrupt-filter-memcg
page-types -p `pidof init` --hwpoison # shall do nothing
page-types -p `pidof usemem` --hwpoison # poison its pages

When specified, only poison pages if ((page_flags & mask) == value).
- corrupt-filter-flags-mask
- corrupt-filter-flags-value
This allows stress testing of many kinds of pages.
Strictly speaking, the buddy pages requires taking zone lock, to avoid
setting PG_hwpoison on a "was buddy but now allocated to someone" page.
However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning,
this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will
BUG() on the unexpected PG_locked, which is fine for hwpoison testing.)

__memory_failure()'s workflow is
set PG_hwpoison
//...
unset PG_hwpoison if didn't pass hwpoison filter
That could kill unrelated process if it happens to page fault on the
page with the (temporary) PG_hwpoison. The race should be big enough to
appear in stress tests.
Fix it by grabbing the page and checking filter at inject time. This
also avoids the very noisy "Injecting memory failure..." messages.
- we don't touch madvise() based injection, because the filters are
generally not necessary for it.
- if we want to apply the filters to h/w aided injection, we'd better to
rearrange the logic in __memory_failure() instead of this patch.

Filesystem data/metadata present the most tricky-to-isolate pages.
It requires careful code review and stress testing to get them right.
The fs/device filter helps to target the stress tests to some specific
filesystem pages. The filter condition is block device's major/minor
numbers:
- corrupt-filter-dev-major
- corrupt-filter-dev-minor
When specified (non -1), only page cache pages that belong to that
device will be poisoned.
The filters are checked reliably on the locked and refcounted page.

The unpoisoning interface is useful for stress testing tools to
reclaim poisoned pages (to prevent OOM)
There is no hardware level unpoisioning, so this
cannot be used for real memory errors, only for software injected errors.
Note that it may leak pages silently - those who have been removed from
LRU cache, but not isolated from page cache/swap cache at hwpoison time.
Especially the stress test of dirty swap cache pages shall reboot system
before exhausting memory.

Useful for some testing scenarios, although specific testing is often
done better through MADV_POISON
This can be done with the x86 level MCE injector too, but this interface
allows it to do independently from low level x86 changes.
