Hi all,
Sorry to disturb you. Now the ARM64 has supported the RAS, when enabling this feature, we encounter a issue. If the user space application happen page table RAS error,
Memory error handler(memory_failure()) will do nothing except make a poisoned page flag, and fault handler in arch/arm64/mm/fault.c will deliver a signal to kill this
application. when this application exit, it will call unmap_vmas () to release his vma resource, but here it will touch the error page table again, then will trigger RAS error again, so
this application cannot be killed and system will be panic, the log is shown in [2].
As shown the stack in [1], unmap_page_range() will touch the error page table, so system will panic, does this panic behavior is expected? How the x86 handle the page table
RAS error? If user space application happen page table RAS error, I think the expected behavior should be killing the application instead of panic OS. In current code, when release
application vma resource, I do not see it will check whether table page is poisoned, could you give me some suggestion about how to handle this case? Thanks a lot.
