It is BUG on PF_ANY():

PAGEFLAG(HWPoison, hwpoison, PF_ANY)

#define PF_ANY(page, enforce) PF_POISONED_CHECK(page)

#define PF_POISONED_CHECK(page) ({ \
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(PagePoisoned(page), page); \
page; })

#define PAGE_POISON_PATTERN -1l
static inline int PagePoisoned(const struct page *page)
{
return READ_ONCE(page->flags) == PAGE_POISON_PATTERN;
}

The offlined pages will have page->flags set to PAGE_POISON_PATTERN while pfn is still valid:

offline_pages
remove_pfn_range_from_zone
page_init_poison
memset(page, PAGE_POISON_PATTERN, size);

Since memory unpoison is only used for testing and users usually won't pass in a offlined pfn (memory
offline itself should be rare too). So I think this doesn't deserve cc statble. But If a Fixes tag is
required, I think it should be:

Fixes: f165b378bbdf ("mm: uninitialized struct page poisoning sanity checking")

Thanks.
