Subject: [PATCH v4] HWPOISON, hugetlbfs: fix warning on freeing hwpoisoned
hugepage
This patch fixes the warning from __list_del_entry() which is triggered
when a process tries to do free_huge_page() for a hwpoisoned hugepage.
ChangeLog v4:
- Add comment about when the warning is triggered
ChangeLog v3:
- Add comment
ChangeLog v2:
- simply use list_del_init instead of introducing new hugepage list
