[PATCH v4 2/5] mm/madvise: Add MF_ACTION_REQUIRED to madvise(MADV_HWPOISON)

From: Jane Chu
Date: Fri May 24 2024 - 17:53:49 EST


The soft hwpoison injector via madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) operates in
a synchrous way in a sense, the injector is also a process under
test, and should it have the poisoned page mapped in its address
space, it should get killed as much as in a real UE situation.
Doing so align with what the madvise(2) man page says: "
"This operation may result in the calling process receiving a SIGBUS
and the page being unmapped."
