The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/huge_memory: preserve PG_has_hwpoisoned if a folio is split to >0 order
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: mm/huge_memory: preserve PG_has_hwpoisoned if a folio is split to >0 order
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 23:05:21 -0400
folio split clears PG_has_hwpoisoned, but the flag should be preserved in
after-split folios containing pages with PG_hwpoisoned flag if the folio
is split to >0 order folios. Scan all pages in a to-be-split folio to
determine which after-split folios need the flag.
An alternatives is to change PG_has_hwpoisoned to PG_maybe_hwpoisoned to
avoid the scan and set it on all after-split folios, but resulting false
positive has undesirable negative impact. To remove false positive,
caller of folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() and folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page()
needs to do the scan. That might be causing a hassle for current and
future callers and more costly than doing the scan in the split code.
More details are discussed in [1].
This issue can be exposed via:
1. splitting a has_hwpoisoned folio to >0 order from debugfs interface;
2. truncating part of a has_hwpoisoned folio in
truncate_inode_partial_folio().
And later accesses to a hwpoisoned page could be possible due to the
missing has_hwpoisoned folio flag. This will lead to MCE errors.
