Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwpoison, memory_hotplug: lock folio before unmap hwpoisoned folio

Commit b15c87263a69 ("hwpoison, memory_hotplug: allow hwpoisoned pages to
be offlined) add page poison checks in do_migrate_range in order to make
offline hwpoisoned page possible by introducing isolate_lru_page and
try_to_unmap for hwpoisoned page. However folio lock must be held before
calling try_to_unmap. Add it to fix this problem.

Warning will be produced if folio is not locked during unmap:
