Subject: [PATCH] mm: memory-failure: fix unexpected return value in
soft_offline_page()
When page_handle_poison() fails to handle the hugepage or free page in
retry path, soft_offline_page() will return 0 while -EBUSY is expected in
this case.
Consequently the user will think soft_offline_page succeeds while it in
fact failed. So the user will not try again later in this case.
