Subject: CVE-2024-40914: mm/huge_memory: don't unpoison huge_zero_folio

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/huge_memory: don't unpoison huge_zero_folio

When I did memory failure tests recently, below panic occurs:

The root cause is that HWPoison flag will be set for huge_zero_folio
without increasing the folio refcnt.  But then unpoison_memory() will
decrease the folio refcnt unexpectedly as it appears like a successfully
hwpoisoned folio leading to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0) when
releasing huge_zero_folio.

Skip unpoisoning huge_zero_folio in unpoison_memory() to fix this issue. 
We're not prepared to unpoison huge_zero_folio yet.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-40914 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
