In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/hwpoison: clear MFCOUNTINCREASED before retrying getanypage()

Hulk Robot reported a panic in putpagetestzero() when testing madvise() with MADVSOFTOFFLINE. The BUG() is triggered when retrying getanypage(). This is because we keep MFCOUNTINCREASED flag in second try but the refcnt is not increased.

page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0)
