When one page is already hwpoisoned by MCE AO action, processes may not be killed, processes mapping this page may make a syscall include this page and result to trigger a VM_FAULT_HWPOISON fault, as it's in kernel mode it may be fixed by fixup_exception, current code will just return error code to user code. This is not sufficient, we should send a SIGBUS to the process and log the info to console, as we can't trust the process will handle the error correctly.

At the very least, this needs a clear explanation of why your proposed behavior is better than the existing behavior.
Thanks Aili Yao
