Kefeng Wang aa549f923f mm: support poison recovery from do_cow_fault() 
Patch series "mm: hwpoison: two more poison recovery".

One more CoW path to support poison recorvery in do_cow_fault(), and the
last copy_user_highpage() user is replaced to copy_mc_user_highpage() from
copy_present_page() during fork to support poison recorvery too.


This patch (of 2):

Like commit a873dfe103 ("mm, hwpoison: try to recover from copy-on
write faults"), there is another path which could crash because it does
not have recovery code where poison is consumed by the kernel in
do_cow_fault(), a crash calltrace shown below on old kernel, but it
could be happened in the lastest mainline code,

  CPU: 7 PID: 3248 Comm: mpi Kdump: loaded Tainted: G           OE     5.10.0 #1
  pc : copy_page+0xc/0xbc
  lr : copy_user_highpage+0x50/0x9c
  Call trace:
    copy_page+0xc/0xbc
    do_cow_fault+0x118/0x2bc
    do_fault+0x40/0x1a4
    handle_pte_fault+0x154/0x230
    __handle_mm_fault+0x1a8/0x38c
    handle_mm_fault+0xf0/0x250
    do_page_fault+0x184/0x454
    do_translation_fault+0xac/0xd4
    do_mem_abort+0x44/0xbc

Fix it by using copy_mc_user_highpage() to handle this case and return
VM_FAULT_HWPOISON for cow fault.

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 reStructuredText 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.
