Aristeu Rozanski reported that a customer test case started to report -EBUSY after the hwpoison rework patchset. There is a race window between spotting a free page and taking it off its buddy freelist, so it might be that by the time we try to take it off, the page has been already allocated. This patch tries to handle such race window by trying to handle the new type of page again if the page was allocated under us.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
