Added two explicit MF_MSG messages describing failure in get_hwpoison_page.
Attemped to document the definition of various action names, and made a few
adjustment to the action_result() calls.

This looks much better, thanks:

Reviewed-by: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de>

By the way, I was checking the block in memory_failure() that handles
refcount=0 pages, concretely the piece of code that handles buddy pages.

In there, if we fail to take the page off the buddy lists, we return
MF_FAILED, but I really think we should be returning MF_IGNORED.

Thoughts?

Thanks for your patch. This really improves the code.

Would the page remain in LRU or file mapping? IIUC, MF_DELAYED is returned from two functions:
1. me_swapcache_dirty. Page lives in swap cache and removed from LRU.
2. kvm_gmem_error_folio. Page range is unmapped. It seems page won't be in the LRU or page cache.
Or am I miss something?

We might reuse the below "return res;"?

Besides from the above possible nits, this patch looks good to me.

I guess you mean this code -
         if (has_extra_refcount(ps, p, false))
                 ret = MF_FAILED;
?

It appears in below code paths-
     hwpoison_user_mappings
       identify_page_state
         me_huge_page || me_swapcache_dirty || me_swapcache_clean
for LRU pages.

And for non-LRU
     if (!folio_test_lru(folio) && !folio_test_writeback(folio))
             goto identify_page_state;

My hunch is that the most common calling path would be: 
hwpoison_user_mappings has unmapped the page, then identify_page_state 
is called, but for some reason failed to take the page off the LRU.  The 
m-f() handler has isolated the page to avoid further MCE, so I think in 
general return MF_FAILED is okay.

That said, the line is not always clear, for example in the non-LRU 
case, where the m-f() handler may have done only a little, I guess I 
just need to let the case rest.

thanks,

Agreed, I'll fix the comment.
