[PATCH v4 2/2] mm/memory-failure: Poison read receives SIGKILL instead of SIGBUS if mmaped more than once

[Jane Chu]

Mmap /dev/dax more than once, then read the poison location using address
from one of the mappings. The other mappings due to not having the page
mapped in will cause SIGKILLs delivered to the process. SIGKILL succeeds
over SIGBUS, so user process looses the opportunity to handle the UE.

Although one may add MAP_POPULATE to mmap(2) to work around the issue,
MAP_POPULATE makes mapping 128GB of pmem several magnitudes slower, so
isn't always an option.

Details -

ndctl inject-error --block=10 --count=1 namespace6.0

./read_poison -x dax6.0 -o 5120 -m 2
