Hardware errors could be signaled by synchronous interrupt, e.g. when an
error is detected by a background scrubber, or signaled by synchronous
exception, e.g. when an uncorrected error is consumed. Both synchronous and
asynchronous error are queued and handled by a dedicated kthread in
workqueue.
commit 7f17b4a121d0 ("ACPI: APEI: Kick the memory_failure() queue for
synchronous errors") keep track of whether memory_failure() work was
queued, and make task_work pending to flush out the workqueue so that the
work for synchronous error is processed before returning to user-space.
The trick ensures that the corrupted page is unmapped and poisoned. And
after returning to user-space, the task starts at current instruction which
triggering a page fault in which kernel will send SIGBUS to current process
due to VM_FAULT_HWPOISON.
However, the memory failure recovery for hwpoison-aware mechanisms does not
work as expected. For example, hwpoison-aware user-space processes like
QEMU register their customized SIGBUS handler and enable early kill mode by
seting PF_MCE_EARLY at initialization. Then the kernel will directy notify
the process by sending a SIGBUS signal in memory failure with wrong
si_code: the actual user-space process accessing the corrupt memory
location, but its memory failure work is handled in a kthread context, so
it will send SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AO si_code to the actual user-space
process instead of BUS_MCEERR_AR in kill_proc().
To this end, separate synchronous and asynchronous error handling into
different paths like X86 platform does:
- valid synchronous errors: queue a task_work to synchronously send SIGBUS
before ret_to_user.
- valid asynchronous errors: queue a work into workqueue to asynchronously
handle memory failure.
- abnormal branches such as invalid PA, unexpected severity, no memory
failure config support, invalid GUID section, OOM, etc.
Then for valid synchronous errors, the current context in memory failure is
exactly belongs to the task consuming poison data and it will send SIBBUS
with proper si_code.
