Subject: mm/memory-failure: prioritize prctl(PR_MCE_KILL) over vm.memory_failure_early_kill
Patch series "hwpoison: fixes signaling on memory error"
This is a small patchset to solve issues in memory error handler to
send SIGBUS to proper process/thread as expected in configuration.
Please see descriptions in individual patches for more details.
This patch (of 2):
Early-kill policy is controlled from two types of settings, one is
per-process setting prctl(PR_MCE_KILL) and the other is system-wide
setting vm.memory_failure_early_kill. Users expect per-process setting to
override system-wide setting as many other settings do, but early-kill
setting doesn't work as such. For example, if a system configures
vm.memory_failure_early_kill to 1 (enabled), a process receives SIGBUS
even if it's configured to explicitly disable PF_MCE_KILL by prctl().
That's not desirable for applications with their own policies.
This patch is suggesting to change the priority of these two types of
settings, by checking sysctl_memory_failure_early_kill only when a given
process has the default kill policy.
Note that this patch is solving a thread choice issue too. Originally,
collect_procs() always chooses the main thread when
vm.memory_failure_early_kill is 1, even if the process has a dedicated
thread for memory error handling. SIGBUS should be sent to the dedicated
thread if early-kill is enabled via vm.memory_failure_early_kill as we are
doing for PR_MCE_KILL_EARLY processes.
