[PATCH v4 2/2] mm,hwpoison: send SIGBUS when the page has already been poisoned

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Tue Apr 27 2021 - 02:30:18 EST


From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx>

When memory_failure() is called with MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on the
page that has already been hwpoisoned, memory_failure() could fail
to send SIGBUS to the affected process, which results in infinite
loop of MCEs.

Currently memory_failure() returns 0 if it's called for already
hwpoisoned page, then the caller, kill_me_maybe(), could return
without sending SIGBUS to current process. An action required MCE
is raised when the current process accesses to the broken memory,
so no SIGBUS means that the current process continues to run and
access to the error page again soon, so running into MCE loop.

This issue can arise for example in the following scenarios:

- Two or more threads access to the poisoned page concurrently.
If local MCE is enabled, MCE handler independently handles the
MCE events. So there's a race among MCE events, and the
second or latter threads fall into the situation in question.

- If there was a precedent memory error event and memory_failure()
for the event failed to unmap the error page for some reason,
the subsequent memory access to the error page triggers the
MCE loop situation.

To fix the issue, make memory_failure() return some error code when the
error page has already been hwpoisoned. This allows memory error
handler to control how it sends signals to userspace. And make sure
that any process touching a hwpoisoned page should get a SIGBUS (if
possible) with the error virtual address, even in "already hwpoisoned"
path of memory_failure() as is done in page fault path.

kill_accessing_process() does pagetable walk to find the error virtual
address. If multiple virtual addresses are found in the pagetable walk,
no one knows which address is the correct one, so we fall back to sending
SIGBUS in kill_me_maybe() without error address info as we do now.
This corner case is left to be solved in the future.

change log v3 -> v4:
- refactored hwpoison_pte_range to save indentation,
- updated patch description

change log v1 -> v2:
- initialize local variables in check_hwpoisoned_entry() and
hwpoison_pte_range()
- fix and improve logic to calculate error address offset.
