In some cases it appears the invalidation of a hwpoisoned page fails
because the page is still mapped in another process. This can cause a
program to be continuously restarted and die when it page faults on the
page that was not invalidated. Avoid that problem by unmapping the
hwpoisoned page when we find it.
Another issue is that sometimes we end up oopsing in finish_fault, if
the code tries to do something with the now-NULL vmf->page. I did not
hit this error when submitting the previous patch because there are
several opportunities for alloc_set_pte to bail out before accessing
vmf->page, and that apparently happened on those systems, and most of
the time on other systems, too.
However, across several million systems that error does occur a handful
of times a day. It can be avoided by returning VM_FAULT_NOPAGE which
will cause do_read_fault to return before calling finish_fault.

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.
