[PATCH v5 1/2] mm/hwpoison: Avoid the impact of hwpoison_filter() return value on mce handler

From: luofei
Date: Wed Feb 23 2022 - 03:24:36 EST


When the hwpoison page meets the filter conditions, it should
not be regarded as successful memory_failure() processing for
mce handler, but should return a distinct value, otherwise
mce handler regards the error page has been identified and
isolated, which may lead to calling set_mce_nospec() to change
page attribute, etc.

Here memory_failure() return -EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that the
error event is filtered, mce handler should not take any action
for this situation and hwpoison injector should treat as correct.
