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

mm/hwpoison: clear MF_COUNT_INCREASED before retrying get_any_page()

Hulk Robot reported a panic in put_page_testzero() when testing
madvise() with MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE.  The BUG() is triggered when retrying
get_any_page().  This is because we keep MF_COUNT_INCREASED flag in
second try but the refcnt is not increased.

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