After cherry picking patch 1 & 2, I saw the following with 2 UC errors injected into the user space buffer passed into write(2), as expected: [ 287.994754] Kernel panic - not syncing: Machine checks to different user pages
Interesting. What are the offsets of the two injected errors in your test (both w.r.t. the start of the buffer, and within a page).
The kernel tested with has its x86/mce and mm/memory-failure aligned with upstream till around 2020/11. Is there any other patch that I have missed to the write syscall etc?
There is a long series of patches from Al Viro to lib/iov_iter.c that are maybe also relevent in making the kernel copy from user stop at the first poison address in the buffer. -Tony
