[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-huge_memory-set-pg_has_hwpoisoned-only-after-new-folio-head-is-established.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/huge_memory: set PG_has_hwpoisoned only after new folio head is established
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-huge_memory-set-pg_has_hwpoisoned-only-after-new-folio-head-is-established.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/huge_memory: set PG_has_hwpoisoned only after new folio head is established
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 13:42:34 -0400

__split_folio_to_order() copies the hwpoison state onto each new sub-folio
while splitting a folio to a non-zero order.  It does so via

	if (handle_hwpoison && page_range_has_hwpoisoned(new_head, new_nr_pages))
		folio_set_has_hwpoisoned(new_folio);

*before* clear_compound_head(new_head)/prep_compound_page(new_head, ...)
turns @new_head from a tail page into a proper folio head.

PG_has_hwpoisoned is a FOLIO_SECOND_PAGE flag, so
folio_set_has_hwpoisoned() resolves to folio_flags(folio, 1).  With the
new compound_info-based page-flags layout, folio_flags() asserts the page
is not a tail:

	VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(page->compound_info & 1, page);
	VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(n > 0 && !test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags.f), page);

At the current call site @new_head still has the tail marker
(compound_info bit 0 set, PG_head clear), so on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernels
this hits:

  kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:354
  folio_flags+0x82
  folio_set_has_hwpoisoned
  __split_folio_to_order
  __split_unmapped_folio
  __folio_split
  truncate_inode_partial_folio  (shmem hole-punch / MADV_REMOVE)

Reproduced by syzkaller: hwpoison-inject a few subpages of a large shmem
folio, then MADV_REMOVE (fallocate punch hole) on the same range, which
splits the partial folio to a non-zero order.

memory_failure() tries to split the poisoned folio to order 0 first, but
that split is best-effort; when it fails the folio is left large with
PG_has_hwpoisoned set, the case fa5a06170036 added this hwpoison copying
for.

Move the folio_set_has_hwpoisoned() call to after
clear_compound_head()/prep_compound_page(), where @new_folio is a real
order-new_order head folio (handle_hwpoison implies new_order != 0, so a
second page always exists).  The flag still lands on the same struct page
(page[1] of the new folio); only the ordering relative to compound-head
setup changes, satisfying the FOLIO_SECOND_PAGE precondition.
