Have a look at the recent fixes to pfn_to_online_page() vs DAX pages [1].

This above page type check is racy given that the pfn could stop being
pfn_valid() while this check is running. I think hwpoison_filter()
needs an explicit check for whether the page is already referenced or
not. For example the current call to hwpoison_filter() from
memory_failure_dev_pagemap() is safe because the page has already been
validated as ZONE_DEVICE and is safe to de-reference page->pgmap.
