9 * High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the
10 * hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache
13 * Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part
14 * here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM
15 * users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere,
16 * possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code
17 * has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking
18 * rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the
19 * error handling takes potentially a long time.
21 * The operation to map back from RMAP chains to processes has to walk
22 * the complete process list and has non linear complexity with the number
23 * mappings. In short it can be quite slow. But since memory corruptions
24 * are rare we hope to get away with this.

444 * There's one open issue:
446 * The EIO will be only reported on the next IO

448 * Normally Linux has two mechanisms to pass IO error
449 * first through the AS_EIO flag in the address space
450 * and then through the PageError flag in the page.
451 * Since we drop pages on memory failure handling the
452 * only mechanism open to use is through AS_AIO.
454 * This has the disadvantage that it gets cleared on
455 * the first operation that returns an error, while
456 * the PageError bit is more sticky and only cleared
457 * when the page is reread or dropped. If an
458 * application assumes it will always get error on
459 * fsync, but does other operations on the fd before
460 * and the page is dropped inbetween then the error
461 * will not be properly reported.

464 * pages: first on metadata IO errors (which only
465 * report through AS_EIO) or when the page is dropped
468 * So right now we assume that the application DTRT on
469 * the first EIO, but we're not worse than other parts
