Poison (or ECC) errors can be very common on a large size cluster. The
kernel MM currently does not handle ECC errors / poison on a memory region
that is not backed by struct pages. If a memory region mapped using
remap_pfn_range() for example, but not added to the kernel, MM will not
have associated struct pages. Add a new mechanism to handle memory
failure on such memory.
Make kernel MM expose a function to allow modules managing the device
memory to register the device memory SPA and the address space associated
it. MM maintains this information as an interval tree. On poison, MM can
search for the range that the poisoned PFN belong and use the
address_space to determine the mapping VMA.
In this implementation, kernel MM follows the following sequence that is
largely similar to the memory_failure() handler for struct page backed
memory:
1. memory_failure() is triggered on reception of a poison error. An
absence of struct page is detected and consequently
memory_failure_pfn() is executed.
2. memory_failure_pfn() collects the processes mapped to the PFN.
3. memory_failure_pfn() sends SIGBUS to all the processes mapping the
faulty PFN using kill_procs().
Note that there is one primary difference versus the handling of the
poison on struct pages, which is to skip unmapping to the faulty PFN.
This is done to handle the huge PFNMAP support added recently [1] that
enables VM_PFNMAP vmas to map at PMD or PUD level. A poison to a PFN
mapped in such as way would need breaking the PMD/PUD mapping into PTEs
that will get mirrored into the S2. This can greatly increase the cost of
table walks and have a major performance impact.
