------------------------------------------------------ From: Jane Chu jane.chu@oracle.com Subject: mm/memory-failure: teach kill_accessing_process to accept hugetlb tail page pfn Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2025 18:21:12 -0700
When a hugetlb folio is being poisoned again, try_memory_failure_hugetlb() passed head pfn to kill_accessing_process(), that is not right. The precise pfn of the poisoned page should be used in order to determine the precise vaddr as the SIGBUS payload.
This issue has already been taken care of in the normal path, that is, hwpoison_user_mappings(), see [1][2]. Furthermore, for [3] to work correctly in the hugetlb repoisoning case, it's essential to inform VM the precise poisoned page, not the head page.
