Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm/memory-failure: add panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 04:00:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331-ecc_panic-v2-2-9e40d0f64f7a@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260331-ecc_panic-v2-0-9e40d0f64f7a@debian.org>
Add a sysctl that allows the system to panic when an unrecoverable
memory failure is detected. This covers kernel pages, high-order
kernel pages, and unknown page types that cannot be recovered.
