In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay the MCE to guest OS. But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest after un-mapped and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, QEMU-KVM will be killed. The reason is as follow. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped, guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then QEMU-KVM is killed by force_sig_info. To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned page.
Applied, thanks. Sorry about the delay. -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
