[PATCH 5/6] mm, hwpoison: kill procs if unmap fails

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Thu Aug 18 2022 - 09:01:09 EST


If try_to_unmap() fails, the hwpoisoned page still resides in the address
space of some processes. We should kill these processes or the hwpoisoned
page might be consumed later. collect_procs() is always called to collect
relevant processes now so they can be killed later if unmap fails.
