[RFC PATCH v4 21/27] mm/memory-failure: add memory_failure callback to node_private_ops

STALE102d

From: Gregory Price <gourry@gourry.net>
Date: 2026-02-22 08:50:15
Also in: cgroups, damon, linux-cxl, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: hwpoison memory failure handling, memory management, memory management - core, the rest · Maintainers: Miaohe Lin, Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

Add a void memory_failure notification callback to struct
node_private_ops so services managing N_MEMORY_PRIVATE nodes notified
when a page on their node experiences a hardware error.

The callback is notification only -- the kernel always proceeds with
standard hwpoison handling for online pages.

The notification hook fires after TestSetPageHWPoison succeeds and
before get_hwpoison_page giving the service a chance to clean up.
