When handling memory error on a hugetlb page, the error handler tries to dissolve and turn it into 4kB pages. If it's successfully dissolved, PageHWPoison flag is moved to the raw error page, so that's all right. However, dissolve sometimes fails, then the error page is left as hwpoisoned hugepage. It's useful if we can retry to dissolve it to save healthy pages, but that's not possible now because the information about where the raw error pages is lost. Use the private field of a few tail pages to keep that information. The code path of shrinking hugepage pool uses this info to try delayed dissolve. In order to remember multiple errors in a hugepage, a singly-linked list originated from SUBPAGE_INDEX_HWPOISON-th tail page is constructed. Only simple operations (adding an entry or clearing all) are required and the list is assumed not to be very long, so this simple data structure should be enough. If we failed to save raw error info, the hwpoison hugepage has errors on unknown subpage, then this new saving mechanism does not work any more, so disable saving new raw error info and freeing hwpoison hugepages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
