The recovery action might also be handled asynchronously in CMCI uc_decode_notifier
handler signaled by memory controller, right?

I have a one more memory failure log than yours.

[ 3187.485742] MCE: Killing einj_mem_uc:31746 due to hardware memory corruption fault at 7fc4bf7cf400
[ 3187.740620] Memory failure: 0x1a3b80: recovery action for dirty LRU page: Recovered
uc_decode_notifier() processes memory controller report

[ 3187.748272] Memory failure: 0x1a3b80: already hardware poisoned
Workqueue: events memory_failure_work_func // queued by ghes_do_memory_failure

[ 3187.754194] Memory failure: 0x1a3b80: already hardware poisoned
Workqueue: events memory_failure_work_func // queued by __wp_page_copy_user

[ 3188.615920] MCE: Killing einj_mem_uc:31745 due to hardware memory corruption fault at 7fc4bf7cf400

Best Regards,
