Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/memory-failure: Fix redundant updates for already poisoned pages
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 13:38:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aLCiHMy12Ck3ouwC@hpe.com> (raw)

Duplicate memory errors can be reported by multiple sources.

Passing an already poisoned page to action_result() causes issues:

* The amount of hardware corrupted memory is incorrectly updated.
* Per NUMA node MF stats are incorrectly updated.
* Redundant "already poisoned" messages are printed.

Avoid those issues by:

* Skipping hardware corrupted memory updates for already poisoned pages.
* Skipping per NUMA node MF stats updates for already poisoned pages.
* Dropping redundant "already poisoned" messages.

Make MF_MSG_ALREADY_POISONED consistent with other action_page_types and
make calls to action_result() consistent for already poisoned
normal pages and huge pages.

Fixes: b8b9488d50b7 ("mm/memory-failure: improve memory failure action_result messages")
Signed-off-by: Kyle Meyer <kyle.meyer@hpe.com>

v1 -> v2:
 * Continue passing poisoned pages to action_result() with MF_FAILED but don't
update anything.
