I don't think of a workaround for this now ...


Could you please tell me how to reproduce this issue?

You are familiar with qemu-monitor-command, so the following procedure
should work for you:

   - run a process using hugepages on your VM,
   - check the guest physical address of the hugepage (page-types.c is helpful for this),
   - inject a MCE with virsh qemu-monitor-command on the guest physical address, then
   - unpoison the injected physical address.

That's triggered via debugfs / HWPOISON_INJECT, right?

That's a DEBUG_KERNEL option, so I'm not 100% sure if we really want to
cc stable.

Sure, the impact of the bug is limited.


Sure, it's hardly a must-have.  But let's also take the patch
complexity&risk into account.  This is one dang simple patch.

Or is it.  Should these things be happening outside mf_mutex?  What the
heck is the role of mf_mutex anyway?

mf_mutex is to ensure that only one error handling thread can handle
the pfn at one time, but set_mce_nospec() is called outside it now.
So if we want to prevent the race with unmap, both of set_mce_nospec()
and the new kpte check might need to be done in mf_mutex.

OK, I'll sent a v2 patch which includes:
- this change gets protected by mf_mutex
- use -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -EPERM

By the way, I assume that the similar trace(provided by Naoya) is not a same issue. It seems undissolved huge page with corrupted KPTE. I'm trying to fix it ...
