Maybe the following is better? "Since the first page of tail page structs is remapped read-only, we cannot modify any tail struct page, and so we cannot set the HWPoison flag on a tail page. We can make use of head[4].private to record the real hwpoisoned page index. Right before freeing the page the real raw page will be retrieved and marked as HWPoison.
