Rik van Riel 3bae72c2db mm: invalidate hwpoison page cache page in fault path
commit e53ac7374e upstream.

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.

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.
