It's not necessarily to be restricted to file-backed. All the file-backed
check here in this series was just for safety purpose and nothing else.
I think it's a very good example of that swap-read-error case that pte
marker does sound like a great fit, but let's see whether people would
still like to stick with hwpoison which makes some sense too. Then let's
keep the discussion in that thread.
Thanks for the pointer!
