The madvise_inject_error() routine uses get_user_pages() to lookup the pfn and other information for injected error, but it does not release that pin. The assumption is that failed pages should be taken out of circulation. However, for dax mappings it is not possible to take pages out of circulation since they are 1:1 physically mapped as filesystem blocks, or device-dax capacity. They also typically represent persistent memory which has an error clearing capability. In preparation for adding a special handler for dax mappings, shift the responsibility of taking the page reference to memory_failure(). I.e. drop the page reference and do not specify MF_COUNT_INCREASED to memory_failure().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
