From d613f53c83ec47089c4e25859d5e8e0359f6f8da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miaohe Lin linmiaohe@huawei.com Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 10:46:18 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory-failure: fix VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) when unpoison memory
When I did memory failure tests, below panic occurs:

The root cause is that unpoison_memory() tries to check the PG_HWPoison flags of an uninitialized page. So VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) is triggered. This can be reproduced by below steps:
1.Offline memory block:
echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state
2.Get offlined memory pfn:
page-types -b n -rlN
3.Write pfn to unpoison-pfn
echo <pfn> > /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn
This scenario can be identified by pfn_to_online_page() returning NULL. And ZONE_DEVICE pages are never expected, so we can simply fail if pfn_to_online_page() == NULL to fix the bug.
