The patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-clean-up-hwpoison-page-cache-page-in-fault-path.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm: invalidate hwpoison page cache page in fault path

Sometimes the page offlining code can leave behind a hwpoisoned clean page
cache page.  This can lead to programs being killed over and over and over
again as they fault in the hwpoisoned page, get killed, and then get
re-spawned by whatever wanted to run them.

This is particularly embarrassing when the page was offlined due to having
too many corrected memory errors.  Now we are killing tasks due to them
trying to access memory that probably isn't even corrupted.

This problem can be avoided by invalidating the page from the page fault
handler, which already has a branch for dealing with these kinds of pages.
With this patch we simply pretend the page fault was successful if the
page was invalidated, return to userspace, incur another page fault, read
in the file from disk (to a new memory page), and then everything works
again.
