In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hwpoison: clear MF_COUNT_INCREASED before retrying get_any_page() Hulk
Robot reported a panic in put_page_testzero() when testing madvise() with
MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE. The BUG() is triggered when retrying get_any_page().
This is because we keep MF_COUNT_INCREASED flag in second try but the
refcnt is not increased. page dumped because:
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0) ------------[ cut here
