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
11 * failure.
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.

448 * The EIO will be only reported on the next IO

450 * Normally Linux has two mechanisms to pass IO error

453 * Since we drop pages on memory failure handling the
454 * only mechanism open to use is through AS_AIO.

457 * the first operation that returns an error, while
458 * the PageError bit is more sticky and only cleared
459 * when the page is reread or dropped. If an
460 * application assumes it will always get error on
461 * fsync, but does other operations on the fd before
462 * and the page is dropped inbetween then the error
463 * will not be properly reported.
465 * This can already happen even without hwpoisoned
466 * pages: first on metadata IO errors (which only
467 * report through AS_EIO) or when the page is dropped
468 * at the wrong time.
470 * So right now we assume that the application DTRT on
471 * the first EIO, but we're not worse than other parts

486 * normal PTEs and swap PTEs. We try to handle them consistently by calling

489 * - clear dirty bit to prevent IO
490 * - remove from LRU

492 * a later page fault, we know the application is accessing
493 * corrupted data and shall be killed (we installed simple
494 * interception code in do_swap_page to catch it).
496 * Clean swap cache pages can be directly isolated. A later page fault will
