Summary
mm: memory-failure: update ttu flag inside unmap_poisoned_folio
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: memory-failure: update ttu flag inside unmap_poisoned_folio
Patch series "mm: memory_failure: unmap poisoned folio during migrate
properly", v3.
Fix two bugs during folio migration if the folio is poisoned.
This patch (of 3):
Commit 6da6b1d4a7df ("mm/hwpoison: convert TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON to
TTU_HWPOISON") introduce TTU_HWPOISON to replace TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON in
order to stop send SIGBUS signal when accessing an error page after a
memory error on a clean folio. However during page migration, anon folio
must be set with TTU_HWPOISON during unmap_*(). For pagecache we need
some policy just like the one in hwpoison_user_mappings to set this flag.
So move this policy from hwpoison_user_mappings to unmap_poisoned_folio to
handle this warning properly.
Warning will be produced during unamp poison folio with the following log:
