[PATCH] mm,hwpoison: check mm when killing accessing process
From: Shuai Xue
Date: Wed Sep 14 2022 - 02:49:58 EST
The GHES code calls memory_failure_queue() from IRQ context to queue work
into workqueue and schedule it on the current CPU. Then the work is
processed in memory_failure_work_func() by kworker and calls
memory_failure().
When a page is already poisoned, commit a3f5d80ea401 ("mm,hwpoison: send
SIGBUS with error virutal address") make memory_failure() call
kill_accessing_process() that:
- holds mmap locking of current->mm
- does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address
- and sends SIGBUS to the current process with error info.
However, the mm of kworker is not valid. Therefore, check mm when killing
accessing process.
Fixes: a3f5d80ea401 ("mm,hwpoison: send SIGBUS with error virutal address")
