    mm: hwpoison: drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page() · 9ab3b598
    Naoya Horiguchi authored
    A race condition starts to be visible in recent mmotm, where a PG_hwpoison
    flag is set on a migration source page *before* it's back in buddy page
    poo= l.
    
    This is problematic because no page flag is supposed to be set when
    freeing (see __free_one_page().) So the user-visible effect of this race
    is that it could trigger the BUG_ON() when soft-offlining is called.
    
    The root cause is that we call lru_add_drain_all() to make sure that the
    page is in buddy, but that doesn't work because this function just
    schedule= s a work item and doesn't wait its completion.
    drain_all_pages() does drainin= g directly, so simply dropping
    lru_add_drain_all() solves this problem.
