The patch titled Subject: mm, memory_failure: only send BUS_MCEERR_AO to early-kill process has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-memory_failure-only-send-bus_mceerr_ao-to-early-kill-process.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-memory_failure-only-send-bus_mceerr_ao-to-early-kill-process.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-memory_failure-only-send-bus_mceerr_ao-to-early-kill-process.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zhang Yi <wetpzy@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, memory_failure: only send BUS_MCEERR_AO to early-kill process If a process don't need early-kill, it may not care the BUS_MCEERR_AO. Let the process to be killed when it really access the corrupted memory.
