Tony Luck 4af5960d7c mm, hwpoison: try to recover from copy-on write faults
commit a873dfe1032a132bf89f9e19a6ac44f5a0b78754 upstream.

Patch series "Copy-on-write poison recovery", v3.

Part 1 deals with the process that triggered the copy on write fault with
a store to a shared read-only page.  That process is send a SIGBUS with
the usual machine check decoration to specify the virtual address of the
lost page, together with the scope.

Part 2 sets up to asynchronously take the page with the uncorrected error
offline to prevent additional machine check faults.  H/t to Miaohe Lin
<linmiaohe@huawei.com> and Shuai Xue <xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com> for
pointing me to the existing function to queue a call to memory_failure().

On x86 there is some duplicate reporting (because the error is also
signalled by the memory controller as well as by the core that triggered
the machine check).  Console logs look like this:


This patch (of 2):

If the kernel is copying a page as the result of a copy-on-write
fault and runs into an uncorrectable error, Linux will crash because
it does not have recovery code for this case where poison is consumed
by the kernel.

It is easy to set up a test case. Just inject an error into a private
page, fork(2), and have the child process write to the page.

I wrapped that neatly into a test at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/ras-tools.git

just enable ACPI error injection and run:

  # ./einj_mem-uc -f copy-on-write

Add a new copy_user_highpage_mc() function that uses copy_mc_to_kernel()
on architectures where that is available (currently x86 and powerpc).
When an error is detected during the page copy, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
to caller of wp_page_copy(). This propagates up the call stack. Both x86
and powerpc have code in their fault handler to deal with this code by
sending a SIGBUS to the application.

Note that this patch avoids a system crash and signals the process that
triggered the copy-on-write action. It does not take any action for the
memory error that is still in the shared page. To handle that a call to
memory_failure() is needed. But this cannot be done from wp_page_copy()
because it holds mmap_lock(). Perhaps the architecture fault handlers
can deal with this loose end in a subsequent patch?

On Intel/x86 this loose end will often be handled automatically because
the memory controller provides an additional notification of the h/w
poison in memory, the handler for this will call memory_failure(). This
isn't a 100% solution. If there are multiple errors, not all may be
logged in this way.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
