The flag is not problem for me.

In my case, two processes share memory with no any flag setting, both 
will be killed when only one

access the fail memory.

The force_early is rely the flag MF_ACTION_REQUIRED, so it is always 
true when MCE occurs.

This leads always sending SIGBUS to processes even if those are not 
current or no flag setting.

ÂI think it could keep the non-current processes which has no flag 
setting running.


Besides, base on your recommendation I reorder the force_early check and 
find_early_kill_thread()

check, to send the signal to the right thread.
