[PATCH v6 0/5] mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure

[Lisa Wang]

Here's a sixth revision to fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure.

This patch series addresses an issue in the memory failure handling path
where MF_DELAYED is incorrectly treated as an error. This issue was
discovered while testing memory failure handling for guest_memfd.

The proposed solution involves -
1. Clarifying the definition of MF_DELAYED to mean that memory failure
   handling is only partially completed, and that the metadata for the
   memory that failed (as in struct page/folio) is still referenced.
2. Updating shmem’s handling to align with the clarified definition.
3. Updating how the result of .error_remove_folio() is interpreted.

Changes from v5:
Add comment-style fallthrough in the memory-failure test, as suggested
by Ackerley and David

+ RFC v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260823-memory-failure-mf-delayed-fix-v5-0-d97a5703e45a@xxxxxxxxxx/
