Hi Naoya,

Shall we change the return value in soft_offline_free_page()?

 If we still return void in offline free pages no matter it success 
or fail later. echo xxx > soft_offline_pages, return 0, success, 
but the number of "cat /proc/meminfo | grep HardwareCorrupted"
is not  increased, this makes confusion for users.

Thanks,
Xishi Qiu

...
 static void soft_offline_free_page(struct page *page) {
+ int rc = 0;
  struct page *head = compound_head(page);

- if (!TestSetPageHWPoison(head)) {
+ if (PageHuge(head))
+  rc = dissolve_free_huge_page(page);
+ if (!rc && !TestSetPageHWPoison(page))
   num_poisoned_pages_inc();
-  if (PageHuge(head))
-   dissolve_free_huge_page(page);
- }
 }
