This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From bde9803de32c6b55344d7793e6aecbb11bf45bfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:11:01 -0700 Subject: mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED commit 74614de17db6fb472370c426d4f934d8d616edf2 upstream. When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that they might never actually see. task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with "prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill. But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer. The error is in the execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS immediatley. Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.
