hugetlbfs: don't delete error page from pagecache
This change is very similar to the change that was made for shmem [1], and it solves the same problem but for HugeTLBFS instead. Currently, when poison is found in a HugeTLB page, the page is removed from the page cache. That means that attempting to map or read that hugepage in the future will result in a new hugepage being allocated instead of notifying the user that the page was poisoned. As [1] states, this is effectively memory corruption. The fix is to leave the page in the page cache. If the user attempts to use a poisoned HugeTLB page with a syscall, the syscall will fail with EIO, the same error code that shmem uses. For attempts to map the page, the thread will get a BUS_MCEERR_AR SIGBUS. [1]: commit a76054266661 ("mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221018200125.848471-1-jthoughton@google.com Signed-off-by: James Houghton <jthoughton@google.com> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@nec.com> Tested-by: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@nec.com> Reviewed-by: Yang Shi <shy828301@gmail.com> Cc: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com> Cc: James Houghton <jthoughton@google.com> Cc: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
