The patch titled Subject: mm/memory-failure: poison read receives SIGKILL instead of SIGBUS if mmaped more than once has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-memory-failure-poison-read-receives-sigkill-instead-of-sigbus-if-mmaped-more-than-once.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Jane Chu jane.chu@oracle.com Subject: mm/memory-failure: poison read receives SIGKILL instead of SIGBUS if mmaped more than once
Mmap /dev/dax more than once, then read the poison location using address from one of the mappings. The other mappings due to not having the page mapped in will cause SIGKILLs delivered to the process. SIGKILL succeeds over SIGBUS, so user process loses the opportunity to handle the UE.
Although one may add MAP_POPULATE to mmap(2) to work around the issue, MAP_POPULATE makes mapping 128GB of pmem several magnitudes slower, so isn't always an option.
