Thanks for your patch. Some comments below.

Above checks seems unneeded. We already know it's thp?
Agreed.

I  lifted these checks from hwpoison_user_mapping() with a hope to make kill_procs_now() more generic,

such as, potentially replacing kill_accessing_processes() for re-accessing hwpoisoned page.

But I backed out at last, due to concerns that my tests might not have covered sufficient number of scenarios.

+        put_page(p);
This if block is broken. put_page() has been done when try_to_split_thp_page() fails?
put_page() has not been done if try_to_split_thp_page() fails, and I think it should.
In try_to_split_thp_page(), if split_huge_page fails, i.e. ret != 0, put_page() is called. See below:

static int try_to_split_thp_page(struct page *page)
{
     int ret;

     lock_page(page);
     ret = split_huge_page(page);
     unlock_page(page);

     if (unlikely(ret))
         put_page(page);
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     return ret;
}

Or am I miss something?
I think you caught a bug in my code, thanks!

How about moving put_page() outside try_to_split_thp_page() ?
If you want to send SIGBUS in the event of thp split fail, it might be required to do so.
I think kill_procs_now() needs extra thp refcnt to do its work.

Agreed.  I added an boolean to try_to_split_thp_page(),the boolean indicates whether to put_page().

In case of kill_procs_now(), put_page() is called afterwards.


I will revise the code so that put_page() is called regardless MF_ACTION_REQUIRED is set or not.

+
action_result is missing?
Indeed,  action_result() isn't always called, referring to the re-accessing hwpoison scenarios.

In this case, I think the reason  is that, we just killed the process and there is nothing

else to do or to report.

Should hwpoison_filter() be called in this case?
Yes, it should. I will add the hwpoison_filter check.
+            if (flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) {
Only in MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case, SIGBUS is sent to processes when thp split failed. Any reson under it?
I took a clue from kill_accessing_process() which is invoked only if MF_ACTION_REQUIRED is set.

The usual code path for delivery signal is

if page-is-dirty or MF_MUST_KILL-is-set or umap-failed, then

- send SIGKILL if vaddr is -EFAULT

- send SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AR if MF_ACTION_REQUIRED is set

- send SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AO if MF_ACTION_REQUIRED is not set and process elected for MCE-early-kill

So, if kill_procs_now() is invoked only if MF_ACTION_REQUIRED (as it is in the patch), one can argue that

the MCE-early-kill request is not honored which deviates from the existing behavior.

Perhaps I should remove the

+ if (flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) {
I tend to agree MCE-early-kill request should be honored when try to kill process.
Thanks.
