[PATCH] [19/19] HWPOISON: Add simple debugfs interface to inject hwpoison on arbitary PFNs

Andi Kleen
2009-08-05T09:37:01Z

Useful for some testing scenarios, although specific testing is often
done better through MADV_POISON

This can be done with the x86 level MCE injector too, but this interface
allows it to do independently from low level x86 changes.

Open issues:

Should be disabled for cgroups.

Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems
with MCA recovery. This allows a system to continue running
