Subject: mm/memory-failure: fix refcount leak on soft-offline LBS folio
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 11:53:56 +0800
soft_offline_in_use_page() runs with a folio reference taken by
get_hwpoison_page().
Soft-offline skips splitting when min_order_for_split() is non-zero, so
large folios stay intact. That early return -EBUSY path never drops the
reference.
The other failure path is fine: try_to_split_thp_page(..., release=true)
puts the page when the split itself fails. memory_failure() also puts
explicitly on its analogous unsplit path.
Handle the new_order != 0 case separately and call folio_put() before
returning.
