Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection
Date: Fri, 10 May 2024 00:25:57 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240510062602.901510-1-jane.chu@oracle.com> (raw)

This series aim at the following enhancement -
- Let one hwpoison injector, that is, madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) to behave
  more like as if a real UE occurred. Because the other two injectors
  such as hwpoison-inject and the 'einj' on x86 can't, and it seems to
  me we need a better simulation to real UE scenario.
- For years, if the kernel is unable to unmap a hwpoisoned page, it send
  a SIGKILL instead of SIGBUS to prevent user process from potentially
  accessing the page again. But in doing so, the user process also lose
  important information: vaddr, for recovery.  Fortunately, the kernel
  already has code to kill process re-accessing a hwpoisoned page, so
  remove the '!unmap_success' check.
- Right now, if a thp page under GUP longterm pin is hwpoisoned, and
  kernel cannot split the thp page, memory-failure simply ignores
  the UE and returns.  That's not ideal, it could deliver a SIGBUS with
  useful information for userspace recovery.

Changes in v2:
  - rebased to mm-stable as of 5/8/2024
  - added RB by Oscar Salvador
  - comments from Oscar on patch 1-of-3: clarify changelog
  - comments from Miahe Lin on patch 3-of-3: remove unnecessary user page
    checking and remove incorrect put_page() in kill_procs_now().
    Invoke kill_procs_now() regardless MF_ACTIN_REQUIRED is set or not,
    moved hwpoison_filter() higher up.
  - added two patches 3-of-5 and 4-of-5 

Jane Chu (5):
  mm/memory-failure: try to send SIGBUS even if unmap failed
  mm/madvise: Add MF_ACTION_REQUIRED to madvise(MADV_HWPOISON)
  mm/memory-failure: improve memory failure action_result messages
  mm/memory-failure: move hwpoison_filter() higher up
  mm/memory-failure: send SIGBUS in the event of thp split fail
