Why do we need the "in_folio" part at all?

I wonder if we should just not call that function for hugetlb, it doesn't make
sense as hugetlb doesn't set _has_hwpoisoned.

But then, I wonder if we really need folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() at all?

Why not a simple:

if (!folio_test_hugetlb(folio))
return PageHWPoison(page);

And now I am confused which scenario you are worried about (it's warm here ...)
can you explain which scenario you want to change?

You should spell out why you export that function in the patch description.
