This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct thread to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.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-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.27. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 191dad4e02639331f6679f7c0996655157ecc9d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:10:59 -0700 Subject: mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct thread commit a70ffcac741d31a406c1d2b832ae43d658e7e1cf upstream. When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread. Currently we fail to do that if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process. collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test: if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) { will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active thread at this time). We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the process that collect_procs() said owned the page. If so, we send the SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).
