    thp: fix unsuitable behavior for hwpoisoned tail page · af241a08
    Jin Dongming authored
    When a tail page of THP is poisoned, memory-failure will do nothing except
    setting PG_hwpoison, while the expected behavior is that the process, who
    is using the poisoned tail page, should be killed.
    
    The above problem is caused by lru check of the poisoned tail page of THP.
    Because PG_lru flag is only set on the head page of THP, the check always
    consider the poisoned tail page as NON lru page.
    
    So the lru check for the tail page of THP should be avoided, as like as
    hugetlb.
    
    This patch adds !PageTransCompound() before lru check for THP, because of
    the check (!PageHuge() && !PageTransCompound()) the whole branch could be
    optimized away at build time when both hugetlbfs and THP are set with "N"
    (or in archs not supporting either of those).
