Looking at the current code, I noticed the following code and comment: /* * Unlike System-RAM there is no possibility to swap in a * different physical page at a given virtual address, so all * userspace consumption of ZONE_DEVICE memory necessitates * SIGBUS (i.e. MF_MUST_KILL) */ flags |= MF_ACTION_REQUIRED | MF_MUST_KILL; , which forcibly sets MF_ACTION_REQUIRED and I guess that this is the reason for passing true above. But now I'm not sure that setting these flags for all error events on NVDIMM is really right thing. The above comment sounds to me that memory_failure_dev_pagemap() is called to handle the event when the data on ZONE_DEVICE memory is about to be accessed/consumed, but is that the only case? I thought that memory_failure() can be called by memory scrubbing *before* some process actually access to it, and MCE handler judges whether action is required or not based on MSRs. Does this not happen on NVDIMM error? Anyway this question might be a little off-topic, so not to be a blocker for this patchset. Thanks, Naoya Horiguchi
