Thank you for the patch. I think this will be helpful for integration testing.

You mention "hardware corrupted page" as the condition of this bug, and I
think that it means a real hardware error, but this BUG seems to be
triggered when we use mce-inject or APEI (these are also software injection
without corrupting the memory physically). So the actual condition is
"when memory_failure() is called by MCE handler"?

This can prevent unpoison for hwpoison on 4kB pages, but not for hugetlb pages,
where I see the similar BUG as follows (even with applying your patch):

I don't think of a workaround for this now ...

Is -EOPNOTSUPP a better error code?

Thanks for checking the history, I agree with sending to stable.
