Please describe the user-visible effects of the bug, especially when proposing a -stable backport.

User-visible effects include existing hwpoison-inject tests possibly failing as unpoisoning a single subpage could lead to unpoisoning an entire folio. Memory unpoisoning could also not work as expected as the function will break early due to only checking the head page and not the actually poisoned subpage.

Would it worth the trouble to create folio_page_test_##lname(folio, index) macros to address folio subpage?

I don't think this works for hwpoisoned hugetlb pages that have PageHWPoison set on the head page, rather than on the raw subpage. In the case of hwpoisoned thps, PageHWPoison is set on the raw subpage, not on the head pages. (I believe this is not detected because no one considers the scenario of unpoisoning hwpoisoned thps, which is a rare case). Perhaps the function is_page_hwpoison() would be useful for this purpose?

Sorry, I was wrong. Checking PageHWPoison() is fine because the users of unpoison should know where the PageHWPoison is set via /proc/kpageflags. So this patch is OK to me after comments from other reviewers are resolved.

Hi Naoya,
While taking a closer at the patch, later in unpoison_memory() there is also:
- ret = TestClearPageHWPoison(page) ? 0 : -EBUSY; + ret = folio_test_clear_hwpoison(folio) ? 0 : -EBUSY;
I thought this folio conversion would be safe because page is the result of a compound_head() call but I'm wondering if the same issue exists here and we should be calling TestClearPageHWPoison() on the specific subpage by doing TestClearPageHWPoison(p).
Thanks, Sidhartha Kumar

In this case (get_hwpoison_page returns 0), the target of unpoison_memory was buddy page or free huge page, so there seems not any realistic problem. But putting back to TestClearPageHWPoison() looks consistent, so I'm fine with it.

For successfully handled pages, they should be non-compound pages (dissolved, splitted or normal pages). So this patch makes no change for them. But for failed to hwpoisoned thp and hugetlb, there's some difference. But since Naoya points out that, "the users of unpoison should know where the PageHWPoison is set via /proc/kpageflags.", I'm fine with this patch.
