[PATCH -next v4 0/3] minor improvements for x86 mce processing

From: Tong Tiangen
Date: Thu Jan 11 2024 - 08:56:53 EST


In this patchset, we remove the unused macro EX_TYPE_COPY and centralize
the processing of memory-failure to do_machine_check() to avoid calling
memory_failure_queue() separately for different MC-Safe scenarios. In
addition, MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN is renamed MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPY_MC to expand
its usage scope.

[1]https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230526063242.133656-1-wangkefeng.wang@xxxxxxxxxx/

since v3:
1. Rebased on linux-next tag next-20240111.
2. Delete duplicate commit references on patch 3.

since v2:
1. remove redundant fixup type EX_TYPE_COPY.
2. rename MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN to MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPY_MC.
3. update patch3's commit message and the processing logic of
EX_TYPE_DEFAULT_MCE_SAFE based on the discussion of [1].
