[v10,4/4] ACPI: APEI: handle synchronous exceptions in task work
Commit Message
Hardware errors could be signaled by asynchronous interrupt, e.g. when an
error is detected by a background scrubber, or signaled by synchronous
exception, e.g. when a CPU tries to access a poisoned cache line. Both
synchronous and asynchronous error are queued as a memory_failure() work
and handled by a dedicated kthread in workqueue.
However, the memory failure recovery sends SIBUS with wrong BUS_MCEERR_AO
si_code for synchronous errors in early kill mode, even MF_ACTION_REQUIRED
is set. The main problem is that the memory failure work is handled in
kthread context but not the user-space process which is accessing the
corrupt memory location, so it will send SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AO si_code
to the user-space process instead of BUS_MCEERR_AR in kill_proc().
To this end, queue memory_failure() as a task_work so that the current
context in memory_failure() is exactly belongs to the process consuming
poison data and it will send SIBBUS with proper si_code.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read:
