    mm/migrate: fix refcount handling when !hugepage_migration_supported() · 30809f55
    Punit Agrawal authored
    On failing to migrate a page, soft_offline_huge_page() performs the
    necessary update to the hugepage ref-count.
    
    But when !hugepage_migration_supported() , unmap_and_move_hugepage()
    also decrements the page ref-count for the hugepage.  The combined
    behaviour leaves the ref-count in an inconsistent state.
    
    This leads to soft lockups when running the overcommitted hugepage test
    from mce-tests suite.

    Address this by changing the putback_active_hugepage() in
    soft_offline_huge_page() to putback_movable_pages().
    
    This only triggers on systems that enable memory failure handling
    (ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE) but not hugepage migration
    (!ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION).
    
    I imagine this wasn't triggered as there aren't many systems running
    this configuration.
