Commit196f878a7a(" KVM: arm/arm64: Signal SIGBUS when stage2 discovers hwpoison memory") modifies user_mem_abort() to send a SIGBUS signal when the fault IPA maps to a hwpoisoned page. Commit1559b7583f("KVM: arm/arm64: Re-check VMA on detecting a poisoned page") changed kvm_send_hwpoison_signal() to use the page shift instead of the VMA because at that point the code had already released the mmap lock, which means userspace could have modified the VMA. If userspace uses hugetlbfs for the VM memory, user_mem_abort() tries to map the guest fault IPA using block mappings in stage 2. That is not always possible, if, for example, userspace uses dirty page logging for the VM. Update the page shift appropriately in those cases when we downgrade the stage 2 entry from a block mapping to a page.

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.
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.
