From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>
When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has
reported an error that is not in the current execution path) we
generally do not want to signal a process, since most processes
do not have a SIGBUS handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the
process for a problem that they might never actually see.
task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it
checks whether this specific process has been marked for early signals
with "prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early
signals for all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill.
But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer. The error is in
the execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS
immediatley.
Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to
task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must
take action.
