Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 1
#define PAGE_SIZE 4096

int main(void)
{
char *mem;

mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);

if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
return -1;

munmap(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE);

return 0;
}

There is one page reference count for default empty zero page, madvise_hwpoison
add another one by get_user_pages_fast. memory_hwpoison reduce one page reference
count since it's a non LRU page. unpoison_memory release the last page reference
count and free empty zero page to buddy system which is not correct since empty
zero page has PG_reserved flag. This patch fix it by ignore empty zero page for
madvise_hwpoison directly.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm/hwpoison: change permission of corrupt-pfn/unpoison-pfn to 0200

Hwpoison inject doesn't implement read method for corrupt-pfn/unpoison-pfn
attributes:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/corrupt-pfn
cat: /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/corrupt-pfn: Permission denied
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn
cat: /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn: Permission denied

This patch change the permission of corrupt-pfn/unpoison-pfn to 0200.

I don't understand what you want to do for what reason. Could you clarify
those?

This seems to introduce no behavioral change.

I don't think such change is a good idea. The original code is obviously
easy to confuse people. Why not removing redundant local variable?
