While reviewing [1] I came across commitd3378e86d1("mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump.") and noticed that this patch is broken in two ways. First it doesn't really prevent hwpoison pages from being dumped because hwpoison pages can be marked asynchornously at any time after the check. Secondly, and more importantly, the patch introduces a ref count leak because get_dump_page takes a reference on the page which is not released. It also seems that the patch was merged incorrectly because there were follow up changes not included as well as discussions on how to address the underlying problem [2] Therefore revert the original patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
