Currently unpoison_memory(unsigned long pfn) is designed for soft poison(hwpoison-inject) only. Since 17fae1294ad9d, the KPTE gets cleared on a x86 platform once hardware memory corrupts.
Unpoisoning a hardware corrupted page puts page back buddy only, the kernel has a chance to access the page with *NOT PRESENT* KPTE. This leads BUG during accessing on the corrupted KPTE.
Suggested by David&Naoya, disable unpoison mechanism when a real HW error happens to avoid BUG like this:
