Re: [RESEND][PATCH 1/3] x86: Add task_struct flag to force SIGBUS on MCE

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

 



So,

to sum up the thread here:

1. Arguably, tasks which have encountered a memory error should get sent
   a SIGBUS.

2. if a valid use case appears, the proper fix should be not to sprinkle
   special-handling code in random syscalls in a whack-a-mole fashion
   but to note somewhere in the task struct that the task has
   encountered a memory error and then *override* the signal it gets
   sent to it with a SIGBUS one.

   I.e., this should be a generic solution, if anything.

Thx.
