The patch titled Subject: mm/hwpoison: retry with shake_page() for unhandlable pages has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hwpoison-retry-with-shake_page-for-unhandlable-pages.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@nec.com> Subject: mm/hwpoison: retry with shake_page() for unhandlable pages HWPoisonHandlable() sometimes returns false for typical user pages due to races with average memory events like transfers over LRU lists. This causes failures in hwpoison handling. There's retry code for such a case but does not work because the retry loop reaches the retry limit too quickly before the page settles down to handlable state. Let get_any_page() call shake_page() to fix it.
