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.
