Subject[PATCH] mm: shmem: do not call PageHWPoison on a ERR-page
Date
commit b9d02f1bdd98
("mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens")

introduced a PageHWPoison(page) call in "shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp"
in shmem.c.

Now, if "shmem_getpage_gfp" returns an error, page is set to ERR-page.
Therafter, calling PageHWPoison() on this ERR-page, causes KASAN to OOP
the kernel :

So, we proceed with PageHWPoison() call, only if the page is not a
ERR-page.


P.S. : Alternative (optimised) solution :
===========================================

We could save some CPU cycles, if we directly replace

if (error)
page = ERR_PTR(error);
else
unlock_page(page);

with

if (error)
return ERR_PTR(error);
