Use a folio in get_any_page() to save 5 calls to compound head and
convert the last user of shake_page() to shake_folio(). This allows us
to remove the shake_page() definition.

So I didn't do this before because I wasn't convinced it was safe.
We don't have a refcount on the folio, so the page might no longer
be part of this folio by the time we get the refcount on the folio.
I'd really like to see some argumentation for why this is safe.

If I moved down the folio = page_folio() line to after we verify
__get_hwpoison_page() has returned 1, which indicates the reference count was
successfully incremented via foliO_try_get(), that means the folio conversion
would happen after we have a refcount. In the case we don't call
__get_hwpoison_page(), that means the MF_COUNT_INCREASED flag is set. This means
the page has existing users so that path would be safe as well. So I think this
is safe after moving page_folio() after __get_hwpoison_page().
Does that seem correct?
Thanks,
Sid

See if you can find a hole in this chain of reasoning ...
memory_failure()
p = pfn_to_online_page(pfn);
res = try_memory_failure_hugetlb(pfn, flags, &hugetlb);
(not a hugetlb)
if (TestSetPageHWPoison(p)) {
(not already poisoned)
if (!(flags & MF_COUNT_INCREASED)) {
res = get_hwpoison_page(p, flags);
get_hwpoison_page()
ret = get_any_page(p, flags);
get_any_page()
folio = page_folio(page)
Because we don't have a reference on the folio at this point (how could
we?), the folio might be split, and now we have a pointer to a folio
which no longer contains the page (assuming we had a hwerror in what
was a tail page at this time).

That would be unsafe, the safe way would be if we moved page_folio() after the
call to __get_hw_poison() in get_any_page() and there would still be one
remaining user of shake_page() that we can't convert. A safe version of this
patch would result in a removal of one use of PageHuge() and two uses of
put_page(), would that be worth submitting?

I think we should convert __get_hwpoison_page() to return either the folio
or an ERR_PTR or NULL. Also, I think we should delete the "cannot catch
tail" part and just loop in __get_hwpoison_page() until we do catch it.
See try_get_folio() in mm/gup.c for inspiration (although you can't use
it exactly because that code knows that the page is mapped into a page
table, so has a refcount).
But that's just an immediate assessment; you might find a reason that
doesn't work.

Besides, in a possible hugetlb demote scenario, it seems to me that we
should retry
get_hwpoison_hugetlb_folio

Besides, in a possible hugetlb demote scenario, it seems to me that we
should retry
get_hwpoison_hugetlb_folio() instead of falling thru to folio_try_get().
static int __get_hwpoison_page(struct page *page, unsigned long flags)
{
struct folio *folio = page_folio(page);
int ret = 0;
bool hugetlb = false;
ret = get_hwpoison_hugetlb_folio(folio, &hugetlb, false);
if (hugetlb) {

if (folio == page_folio(page))
return ret;
if (ret > 0) { <===== still hugetlb, don't fall
thru, retry
folio_put(folio);
folio = page_folio(page);

I tend to agree we should retry get_hwpoison_hugetlb_folio() because folio is still hugetlb in this case.
Below folio_try_get() won't do the right things. This is on my TODO list but as you mentioned this, please
feel free to submit the corresponding patch.
Thanks.
