This requires the OS to declare a page "poisoned", +kill the processes associated with it and avoid using it in the future. + +This patchkit implements the necessary infrastructure in the VM. + +To quote the overview comment: + + * High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the + * hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache + * failure. + * + * This focusses on pages detected as corrupted in the background. + * When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently + * running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies + * that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to + * just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead + * when that happens another machine check will happen. + * + * Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part + * here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM + * users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere, + * possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code + * has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking + * rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the + * error handling takes potentially a long time. + * + * Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non + * linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not + * been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case + * for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected + * to be rare we hope we can get away with this. + +The code consists of a the high level handler in mm/memory-failure.c, +a new page poison bit and various checks in the VM to handle poisoned +pages. + +The main target right now is KVM guests, but it works for all kinds +of applications. KVM support requires a recent qemu-kvm release. + +For the KVM use there was need for a new signal type so that +KVM can inject the machine check into the guest with the proper +address. This in theory allows other applications to handle +memory failures too. The expection is that near all applications +won't do that, but some very specialized ones might. + +--- + +There are two (actually three) modi memory failure recovery can be in: + +vm.memory_failure_recovery sysctl set to zero: + All memory failures cause a panic.
