    HWPOISON: add fs/device filters · 7c116f2b
    Wu Fengguang authored
    Filesystem data/metadata present the most tricky-to-isolate pages.
    It requires careful code review and stress testing to get them right.
    
    The fs/device filter helps to target the stress tests to some specific
    filesystem pages. The filter condition is block device's major/minor
    numbers:
            - corrupt-filter-dev-major
            - corrupt-filter-dev-minor
    When specified (non -1), only page cache pages that belong to that
    device will be poisoned.
    
    The filters are checked reliably on the locked and refcounted page.
    
    Haicheng: clear PG_hwpoison and drop bad page count if filter not OK
