Naoya Horiguchi aab6291888 mm: soft-offline: return -EBUSY if set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails
commit b38e5962f8 upstream.

The pass/fail of soft offline should be judged by checking whether the
raw error page was finally contained or not (i.e.  the result of
set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page()), but current code do not work like
that.  It might lead us to misjudge the test result when
set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails.

Without this fix, there are cases where madvise(MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) may
not offline the original page and will not return an error.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
