Subject: [PATCH v2] dax: enable dax fault handler to report VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
Date: Thu,  6 Apr 2023 17:01:27 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230406230127.716716-1-jane.chu@oracle.com> (raw)

When dax fault handler fails to provision the fault page due to
hwpoison, it returns VM_FAULT_SIGBUS which lead to a sigbus delivered
to userspace with .si_code BUS_ADRERR.  Channel dax backend driver's
detection on hwpoison to the filesystem to provide the precise reason
for the fault.
