Subject: mm/memory-failure: fix infinite UCE for VM_PFNMAP'ed page
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 12:33:23 +0800
When memory_failure() is called for a already hwpoisoned pfn backed with
struct page, kill_accessing_process() will conditionally send a SIGBUS to
the current (triggering) process if it maps the page.
However, in case the page is not ordinarily mapped, but was mapped through
remap_pfn_range(), kill_accessing_process() wouldn't identify it as mapped
even though hwpoison_pte_range() would be prepared to handle it, because
walk_page_range() will skip VM_PFNMAP as default in walk_page_test(). As
a result, walk_page_range() will return 0, assuming "not mapped" and
SIGBUS will be skipped. The user task will trigger UCE infinitely because
it will not receive a SIGBUS on access and simply retry.
Before commit aaf99ac2ceb7 ("mm/hwpoison: do not send SIGBUS to processes
with recovered clean pages"), kill_accessing_process() will return EFAULT.
For x86, the current task will be killed in kill_me_maybe().
To fix it, add .test_walk callback for hwpoison_walk_ops to process
VM_PFNMAP VMAs too.
