sorry for not processing for a long time. I met it again. patch v1 https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/20/656 do_machine_check() do_memory_failure() memory_failure() hw_poison_user_mappings() try_to_unmap() pteval = swp_entry_to_pte(make_hwpoison_entry(subpage)); ...and now we have a swap entry that indicates that the page entry refers to a bad (and poisoned) page of memory, but gup_fast() at this level of the page table was ignoring swap entries, and incorrectly assuming that "!pxd_none() == valid and present". And this was not just a poisoned page problem, but a generaly swap entry problem. So, any swap entry type (device memory migration, numa migration, or just regular swapping) could lead to the same problem. Fix this by checking for pxd_present(), instead of pxd_none().
