------------------------------------------------------ From: Tony Luck tony.luck@intel.com Subject: mm/memory-failure: use a mutex to avoid memory_failure() races
Patch series "mm,hwpoison: fix sending SIGBUS for Action Required MCE", v5.
I wrote this patchset to materialize what I think is the current allowable solution mentioned by the previous discussion [1]. I simply borrowed Tony's mutex patch and Aili's return code patch, then I queued another one to find error virtual address in the best effort manner. I know that this is not a perfect solution, but should work for some typical case.

This patch (of 2):
There can be races when multiple CPUs consume poison from the same page. The first into memory_failure() atomically sets the HWPoison page flag and begins hunting for tasks that map this page. Eventually it invalidates those mappings and may send a SIGBUS to the affected tasks.
But while all that work is going on, other CPUs see a "success" return code from memory_failure() and so they believe the error has been handled and continue executing.
Fix by wrapping most of the internal parts of memory_failure() in a mutex.
