[PATCH v2 0/2] mm: ksm: support hwpoison for ksm page

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, ksm does not support hwpoison. As ksm is being used more widely
for deduplication at the system level, container level, and process level, 
supporting hwpoison for ksm has become increasingly important. However, ksm
pages were not processed by hwpoison in 2009 [1].

The main method of implementation:
1. Refactor add_to_kill() and add new add_to_kill_*() to better accommodate
the handling of different types of pages.
2. Add collect_procs_ksm() to collect processes when the error hit an ksm 
page.
3. Add task_in_to_kill_list() to avoid duplicate addition of tsk to the 
to_kill list. 
4. Try_to_unmap ksm page (already supported).
5. Handle related processes such as sending SIGBUS.

Tested with poisoning to ksm page from
1) different process
2) one process

and with/without memory_failure_early_kill set, the processes
are killed as expected with the patchset.

v2:
- Rename the "addr" argument to "ksm_addr" in both the 
"__add__add_to_kill()" and "add_to_kill_ksm()"
- Collect RB/TB
