KVM uses get_user_pages() to resolve its stage2 faults. KVM sets the FOLL_HWPOISON flag causing faultin_page() to return -EHWPOISON when it finds a VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. KVM handles these hwpoison pages as a special case. (check_user_page_hwpoison()) When huge pages are involved, this doesn't work so well. get_user_pages() calls follow_hugetlb_page(), which stops early if it receives VM_FAULT_HWPOISON from hugetlb_fault(), eventually returning -EFAULT to the caller. The step to map this to -EHWPOISON based on the FOLL_ flags is missing. The hwpoison special case is skipped, and -EFAULT is returned to user-space, causing Qemu or kvmtool to exit. Instead, move this VM_FAULT_ to errno mapping code into a header file and use it from faultin_page() and follow_hugetlb_page(). With this, KVM works as expected. This isn't a problem for arm64 today as we haven't enabled MEMORY_FAILURE, but I can't see any reason this doesn't happen on x86 too, so I think this should be a fix. This doesn't apply earlier than stable's v4.11.1 due to all sorts of cleanup. [james.morse@arm.com: add vm_fault_to_errno() call to faultin_page()] suggested.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
