At this point, it can be problem with my box's memory chips, or something with HUGETLB.
However, since the "classic" allocations were successful, the problem might be in huge pages, or
if I understood well, in deliberate poisoning of pages?
Isn't that just the (expected) side effect of UFFDIO_POISON tests?
IOW, there is no problem here. We are poisoning virtual memory locations
(not actual memory) and expect a SIGBUS on next access. While testing
that, we receive these messages.
The "ugly" thing here seems to be that we can trigger repeated pr_err()
from user space. There is no rate-limiting in place. Maybe UFFDIO_POISON
requires root permissions so this cannot be exploited by unprivileged
user space to flood the system log?
