If an error is detected as a result of user-space process accessing a corrupt memory location, the CPU may take an abort. On arm64 this is a 'synchronous external abort', and on a firmware first system it is notified via NOTIFY_SEA, this can be called synchronization error."synchronization error" in this context looks weird to me, maybe you mean "synchronous error" ? There're many places using "synchronization", so please use consistent wording."synchronization error" in this context means "synchronous error", e.g SEA. Thanks for your suggestion, I will use consistent wording - "synchronous error".Currently, synchronization error and asynchronization error both use memory_failure_queue to schedule memory_failure() exectute in kworker context. Commit 7f17b4a121d0 ("ACPI: APEI: Kick the memory_failure() queue for synchronous errors") make task_work pending to flush out the queue, cancel_work_sync() in memory_failure_queue_kick() will make memory_failure() exectute in kworker context first which will gets/exectute/execute/Thank you for your detailed review, I will check again and fix the typos and syntax errors in the patch.synchronization error info from kfifo, so task_work later will get nothing from kfifo which doesn't work as expected. Even worse, synchronization error notification has NMI like properties, (it can interrupt IRQ-masked code), task_work may get wrong kfifo entry from interrupted asynchronization error which is notified by IRQ. Since the memory_failure() triggered by a synchronous exception is executed in the kworker context, the early_kill mode of memory_failure() will send wrong si_code by SIGBUS signal: current process is kworker thread, the actual user-space process accessing the corrupt memory location will be collected by find_early_kill_thread(), and then send SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AO si_code to the actual user-space process instead of BUS_MCEERR_AR. The machine-manager(kvm) use the si_code: BUS_MCEERR_AO for 'action optional' early notifications, and BUS_MCEERR_AR for 'action required' synchronous/late notifications. Make memory_failure() triggered by synchronization errors execute in the current context, we do not need workqueue for synchronization error anymore, use task_work handle synchronization errors directly. Since, synchronization errors and asynchronization errors share the same kfifo, use MF_ACTION_REQUIRED flag to distinguish them. And the asynchronization error keeps the same as before. Currently, it's hard to distinguish synchronization error in APEI. It can be determined that the SEA report synchronization error, so currently only the synchronization error reported by SEA is distinguished and handled in current context.

Does that break something? Thanks, Naoya HoriguchiOnly in synchronous error handle process, set sync true. As expected, MF_ACTION_REQUIRED should be set in synchronous error handle process. Kfifo is shared by synchronous error and asynchronous error. Asynchronous error will not set MF_ACTION_REQUIRED. This judgment is to prevent synchronous error calls memory_failure() handle asynchronous errors in kfifo. If __memory_failure_work_func() in synchronous error get an asynchronous error info(sync is true and MF_ACTION_REQUIRED is not set), just ignore it, it will break nothing.Sorry, I am afraid that it does break asynchronous error. NMI handler other than SEA will not MF_ACTION_REQUIRED, and will never schedule a worker in memory_failure_queue(). You intend to use ghes_kick_task_work to handle queued Kfifo work, but the task work is only added to user task. When a asynchronous

error signaled a IRQ, it will interrupt any kind of task, including user task
and kernel task. In kernel task scenario, the task work will not be added to
current so that the memory failure work queued in Kfifo will never be handled.
A related discussion is here[1].

I am a little confused here, your job in [1] is not to add task_work to kernel thread, it's consistent with the code here.
I prefer to add a new path to handle synchronous error through task work and leave the original path as it is. A reference code based on XiuQi's patch is here. [2] By the way, you are working on the same interface with XiuQi in ghes, e.g. ghes_handle_memory_failure to add similar signature, sync flag. Could we discuss based on his patch?

Actually, I think your work is great, my current job is just trying to change the current kernel implementation as little as possible.
Ok, if you have any update, please cc me, let's discuss.
However, currently we can only confirm that SEA is synchronous error, just set MF_ACTION_REQUIRED in SEA, other indeterminate synchronous error will miss memory_failure()..
