Thanks a lot, you're right. I shouldn't simply factor the failure path with
the goto label. I think that it's hard to undo hugetlb_vmemmap_restore(), so
checking HPageRawHwpUnreliable() before hugetlb_vmemmap_restore(), then
try to hugetlb_clear_page_hwpoison() after it (where tail pages are available).

No, it can't now. Currently we try to (and fail) count only the number
hwpoison subpages with raw_hwp_info. If we want to track all corrupted
pages (including hwpoison subpages without raw_hwp_info), maybe running the
following part first in this function could make it better.

ret = TestSetPageHWPoison(hpage) ? -EHWPOISON : 0;
/* the first error event will be counted in action_result(). */
if (ret)
num_poisoned_pages_inc();

But I like the option you suggest below.

Yes, if we'd like to count only hwpoisoned subpages with raw_hwp_info,
doing num_poisoned_pages_inc here is fine.

Maybe not, this code is not performance-sensitive and actually this inline
is a leftover of updates in the previous versions. I'll remove this.

This is a good point, too. Current version surely does not work with HVO, so
I think of simply giving up clearing hwpoison when HPageVmemmapOptimized is
true. And I should leave some inline comment about this.

OK.

Thanks for the detailed review and feedback.
