The root cause is that unpoison_memory() tries to check the PG_HWPoison
flags of an uninitialized page. So VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(page)) is
triggered. This can be reproduced by below steps:
1.Offline memory block:
   echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory12/state
2.Get offlined memory pfn:
   page-types -b n -rlN
3.Write pfn to unpoison-pfn
   echo <pfn> > /sys/kernel/debug/hwpoison/unpoison-pfn

v2: Use pfn_to_online_page per David. Thanks.

Hm, I wonder if we can do anything reasonable with ZONE_DEVICE pages here?

All I can see in unpoison_memory() is folio_test_clear_hwpoison() for ZONE_DEVICE pages.

IIRC, it can only be triggered via debugfs in special kernel configs. So chances are this was never ever actually run against a ZONE_DEVICE page.

If ZONE_DEVICE pages are never expected, we can simply filter them out.

Looking into some details, I think we should just ignore ZONE_DEVICE for now, I'm pretty sure that it's not handled correctly.

So I suggest to fail if pfn_to_online_page() == NULL, just like soft_offline_page() would.
