Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/MCE: Don't call kill_me_now() directly
Date: Tue,  4 May 2021 17:47:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210504174712.27675-3-Yazen.Ghannam@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210504174712.27675-1-Yazen.Ghannam@amd.com>

From: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@amd.com>

Always call kill_me_maybe() in order to attempt memory recovery. This
ensures that any memory associated with the error is properly marked as
poison.

This is needed for errors that occur on memory, but that do not have
MCG_STATUS[RIPV] set. One example is data poison consumption through the
instruction fetch units on AMD Zen-based systems.

The MF_MUST_KILL flag is passed to memory_failure() when
MCG_STATUS[RIPV] is not set. So the associated process will still be
killed.
