      KVM: Avoid killing userspace through guest SRAO MCE on unmapped pages · bf998156
      Huang Ying authored
      In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page
      be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay
      the MCE to guest OS.
      
      But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest
      after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will
      be killed.
      
      The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped,
      guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be
      called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault
      address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In
      user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace
      is killed by force_sig_info.
      
      To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM
      and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned
      page.
