Hi,

Some of the ideas in this patch are wrong :-(

1. As Shuai Xue said, it is wrong to judge synchronization error and
asynchronization error through functions such as
memory_failure_queue_kick()/ghes_proc()/ghes_proc_in_irq(), because both
synchronization error and asynchronization error may go to the same
notification.

2. There is no need to pass 'sync' to __memory_failure_work_func(),
because memory_failure() can directly handle synchronous and
asynchronous errors according to entry.flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED:

entry.flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED == 1: Action: poison page and kill task
for synchronous error
entry.flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED == 0: Action: poison page for
asynchronous error

Reference x86:
do_machine_check # MCE, synchronous
->kill_me_maybe
->memory_failure(p->mce_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT, MF_ACTION_REQUIRED);

uc_decode_notifier # CMCI, asynchronous
->memory_failure(pfn, 0)

At the same time, the modification here is repeated with your patch 01
if (sev == GHES_SEV_RECOVERABLE && sec_sev == GHES_SEV_RECOVERABLE)
- flags = 0;
+ flags = sync ? MF_ACTION_REQUIRED : 0;

3. Why add 'force_sig_mceerr(BUS_MCEERR_AR, 0, 0)' after
memory_failure(pfn, MF_ACTION_REQUIRED)?
The task will be killed in memory_failure():
if poisoned, kill_accessing_process()->kill_proc()
if not poisoned, hwpoison_user_mappings()->collect_procs()->kill_procs()

Reference x86 to handle synchronous error:
kill_me_maybe()
{
int flags = MF_ACTION_REQUIRED;
ret = memory_failure(p->mce_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT, flags);
if (!ret) {
...
return;
}
if (ret == -EHWPOISON || ret == -EOPNOTSUPP)
return;

pr_err("Memory error not recovered");
kill_me_now(cb);
}


Thanks,
Bixuan Cui
