Drop the PageHuge check since memory_failure forks into memory_failure_hugetlb()
for hugetlb pages.

s-o-b chain is reversed.

The code is a bit confusing. Doesn't this check aim for THP? AFAICS
PageTransHuge(hpage) will split the THP or fail so PageTransHuge
shouldn't be possible anymore, right? But why does hwpoison_user_mappings
still work with hpage then?

No, PageHuge() is false for thp, so this if branch is just dead code.

Yes, that's right.

hwpoison_user_mappings() is called both from memory_failure() and
from memory_failure_hugetlb(), so it need handle both cases.

Thanks for the clarification. Maybe the changelog could be more explicit
because the code is quite confusing.

memory_failure()
{

	if (PageTransHuge(hpage)) {
		lock_page(p);
		if (!PageAnon(p) || unlikely(split_huge_page(p))) {
			unlock_page(p);
			if (!PageAnon(p))
				pr_err("Memory failure: %#lx: non anonymous thp\n",
					pfn);
			else
				pr_err("Memory failure: %#lx: thp split failed\n",
					pfn);
			if (TestClearPageHWPoison(p))
				num_poisoned_pages_dec();
			put_hwpoison_page(p);
			return -EBUSY;
		}
		unlock_page(p);
		VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(p), p);
		hpage = compound_head(p);
	}

}

Do we need that hpage = compund_head(p) conversion there? We should just
be able to say hpage = p, or even better after this change use p
directly instead of hpage in the code following?

Thanks for the comment, the target page never be in compound_page
(without races leading to MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_COMPOUND path), so hpage
shouldn't be used afterward.  We also have obsolete comment, so
I feel like the following changes:
