I see, sorry I missed that.  However I still have two entries unsure in above
list that this patch didn't cover (besides fault path, truncate, ...):

  collapse_file[1735]            if (shmem_getpage(mapping->host, index, &page,
  shmem_get_link[3120]           error = shmem_getpage(inode, 0, &page, SGP_READ);

IIUC the 1st one is when we want to collapse a file thp, should we stop the
attempt if we see a hwpoison small page?

The 2nd one should be where we had a symlink shmem file and the 1st page which
stores the link got corrupted.  Should we fail the get_link() then?
