The patch titled Subject: mm, memory_failure: don't send BUS_MCEERR_AO for action required error has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-memory_failure-dont-send-bus_mceerr_ao-for-action-required-error.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-memory_failure-dont-send-bus_mceerr_ao-for-action-required-error.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-memory_failure-dont-send-bus_mceerr_ao-for-action-required-error.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: Wetp Zhang <wetp.zy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, memory_failure: don't send BUS_MCEERR_AO for action required error Some processes dont't want to be killed early, but in "Action Required" case, those also may be killed by BUS_MCEERR_AO when sharing memory with other which is accessing the fail memory. And sending SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AO for action required error is strange, so ignore the non-current processes here.
