Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/mm: Fix VM_FAULT_HWPOISON handling in do_exception() There is no support for HWPOISON, MEMORY_FAILURE, or ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC on s390. Therefore we do not expect to see VM_FAULT_HWPOISON in do_exception(). However, since commit af19487f00f3 ("mm: make PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR more general"), it is possible to see VM_FAULT_HWPOISON in combination with PTE_MARKER_POISONED, even on architectures that do not support HWPOISON otherwise. In this case, we will end up on the BUG() in do_exception(). Fix this by treating VM_FAULT_HWPOISON the same as VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, similar to x86 when MEMORY_FAILURE is not configured. Also print unexpected fault flags, for easier debugging. Note that VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE is not expected, because s390 cannot support swap entries on other levels than PTE level.

Por lo tanto, no esperamos ver VM_FAULT_HWPOISON en do_exception().

En este caso, terminaremos en el ERROR() en do_exception(). Solucione este problema tratando VM_FAULT_HWPOISON de la misma manera que VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, similar a x86 cuando MEMORY_FAILURE no est\u00e1 configurado. Tambi\u00e9n imprima indicadores defallos inesperadas para facilitar la depuraci\u00f3n. Tenga en cuenta que no se espera VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE, porque s390 no puede admitir entradas de intercambio en otros niveles que no sean el nivel PTE."
