Will there be a hwpoison swap entry leftover in the ptes that it used to map? Will it crash the program when the page is accessed? I had a feeling that when handling the page fault in do_swap_page before we SIGBUS the program, we should double-check the PageHWPoison on the pfn page, but I could be missing something..
