Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory-failure: Do not call action_result() on already poisoned pages
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 11:44:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821164445.14467-1-kyle.meyer@hpe.com> (raw)
Calling action_result() on already poisoned pages causes issues:
* The amount of hardware corrupted memory is incorrectly incremented.
* NUMA node memory failure statistics are incorrectly updated.
* Redundant "already poisoned" messages are printed.
Do not call action_result() on already poisoned pages and drop unused
MF_MSG_ALREADY_POISONED.
Fixes: b8b9488d50b7 ("mm/memory-failure: improve memory failure action_result messages")
