CVE-2025-21907 — mm: memory-failure: update ttu flag inside unmap_poisoned_folio

Affected: Linux

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

mm: memory-failure: update ttu flag inside unmap_poisoned_folio

Patch series "mm: memory_failure: unmap poisoned folio during migrate properly", v3.

Fix two bugs during folio migration if the folio is poisoned.

This patch (of 3):

Commit 6da6b1d4a7df ("mm/hwpoison: convert TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON to TTU_HWPOISON") introduce TTU_HWPOISON to replace TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON in order to stop send SIGBUS signal when accessing an error page after a memory error on a clean folio. However during page migration, anon folio must be set with TTU_HWPOISON during unmap_*(). For pagecache we need some policy just like the one in hwpoison_user_mappings to set this flag. So move this policy from hwpoison_user_mappings to unmap_poisoned_folio to handle this warning properly.

Warning will be produced during unamp poison folio with the following log:
