I'm more concerned about backports, when one backports #1 but not #2. In
theory, patch #2 fixes patch #1, because that introduced IMHO a real
regression -- a possible memory corruption when discarding a hwpoison
marker. Warnings are not nice but at least indicate that something needs a
second look.
Note that backporting patch 1 only is exactly what I wanted to do here - it
means his/her tree should not have the swapin error pte markers at all.
The swapin error pte marker change only existed for a few days in Linus's
tree, so no one should be backporting patch 2.
Right, and these patches are supposed to land in 6.2 as well. Makes
sense to me then.
Especially, the other parts in patch #2 are worth being in a separate patch.
