do_machine_check->
do_memory_failure->
memory_failure->
hwpoison_user_mappings
will updated PUD level PTE entry as a swap entry.

static bool try_to_unmap_one(struct page *page, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned long address, void *arg)
{
...
if (PageHWPoison(page) && !(flags & TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON)) {
pteval = swp_entry_to_pte(make_hwpoison_entry(subpage));
if (PageHuge(page)) {
int nr = 1 << compound_order(page);
hugetlb_count_sub(nr, mm);
set_huge_swap_pte_at(mm, address,
pvmw.pte, pteval,
vma_mmu_pagesize(vma));
} else {
dec_mm_counter(mm, mm_counter(page));
set_pte_at(mm, address, pvmw.pte, pteval);
}
...

and, gup_pud_range will reference the pud entry.

gup_pud_range->gup_pmd_range:
static int gup_pmd_range(pud_t pud, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
int write, struct page **pages, int *nr)
{
unsigned long next;
pmd_t *pmdp;

pmdp = pmd_offset(&pud, addr);
do {
pmd_t pmd = *pmdp;  <--the pmdp is hwpoison swap entry. ffff891200003000
and results in corruption

I think so
