Patch series "Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages". Since introducing the ability to have large folios in the page cache, it's been possible to have a hwpoisoned tail page returned from the fault handler. We handle this situation poorly; failing to remove the affected page from use. This isn't a minimal patch to fix it, it's a full conversion of all the code surrounding it. This patch (of 6): invalidate_inode_page() does very little beyond calling mapping_evict_folio(). Move the check for mapping being NULL into mapping_evict_folio() and make it available to the rest of the MM for use in the next few patches.

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.
