I'm more concerned about backports, when one backports #1 but not #2. In theory, patch #2 fixes patch #1, because that introduced IMHO a real regression -- a possible memory corruption when discarding a hwpoison marker. Warnings are not nice but at least indicate that something needs a second look.
Note that backporting patch 1 only is exactly what I wanted to do here - it means his/her tree should not have the swapin error pte markers at all.
The swapin error pte marker change only existed for a few days in Linus's tree, so no one should be backporting patch 2.
Thanks,
