Subject: [PATCH v7 3/6] mce: fix set_mce_nospec to always unmap the whole page
Date: Tue,  5 Apr 2022 13:47:44 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220405194747.2386619-4-jane.chu@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220405194747.2386619-1-jane.chu@oracle.com>

The set_memory_uc() approach doesn't work well in all cases.
For example, when "The VMM unmapped the bad page from guest
physical space and passed the machine check to the guest."
"The guest gets virtual #MC on an access to that page.
 When the guest tries to do set_memory_uc() and instructs
 cpa_flush() to do clean caches that results in taking another
 fault / exception perhaps because the VMM unmapped the page
 from the guest."

Since the driver has special knowledge to handle NP or UC,
let's mark the poisoned page with NP and let driver handle it
when it comes down to repair.

Please refer to discussions here for more details.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAPcyv4hrXPb1tASBZUg-GgdVs0OOFKXMXLiHmktg_kFi7YBMyQ@mail.gmail.com/

Now since poisoned page is marked as not-present, in order to
avoid writing to a 'np' page and trigger kernel Oops, also fix
pmem_do_write().
