When the kernel copies a page from ksm_might_need_to_copy(), but runs into an uncorrectable error, it will crash since poisoned page is consumed by kernel, this is similar to the issue recently fixed by Copy-on-write poison recovery. When an error is detected during the page copy, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON in do_swap_page(), and install a hwpoison entry in unuse_pte() when swapoff, which help us to avoid system crash. Note, memory failure on a KSM page will be skipped, but still call memory_failure_queue() to be consistent with general memory failure process, and we could support KSM page recovery in the feature.

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.
