This patch seems to do two separate things (introducing MF_MCE_HANDLE,
and adding hwpoison_filter() in memory_failure_hugetlb()), so could you
separate the patch into two?

The new return code 1 seems to be handled in the same manner as -EHWPOISON,
so how about simply using -EHWPOISON as return code for the new case?
Then, the meaning of -EHWPOISON at this context would change like below:

/*
- * -EHWPOISON from memory_failure() means that it already sent SIGBUS
- * to the current process with the proper error info, so no need to
- * send SIGBUS here again.
+ * -EHWPOISON from memory_failure() means that memory_failure() did
+ * not handle the error event for the following reason:
+ * - SIGBUS has already been sent to the current process with the
+ * proper error info, or
+ * - hwpoison_filter() filtered the event,
+ * so no need to deal with it more.
*/
