When a process consumes a UE in a page, the memory failure handler
attempts to collect information for a potential SIGBUS. If the page is an
anonymous page, page_mapped_in_vma(page, vma) is invoked in order to
1. retrieve the vaddr from the process' address space,
2. verify that the vaddr is indeed mapped to the poisoned page,
where 'page' is the precise small page with UE.
It's been observed that when injecting poison to a non-head subpage of an
anonymous hugetlb page, no SIGBUS shows up, while injecting to the head
page produces a SIGBUS. The cause is that, though hugetlb_walk() returns
a valid pmd entry (on x86), but check_pte() detects mismatch between the
head page per the pmd and the input subpage. Thus the vaddr is considered
not mapped to the subpage and the process is not collected for SIGBUS
purpose. This is the calling stack:
collect_procs_anon
page_mapped_in_vma
page_vma_mapped_walk
hugetlb_walk
huge_pte_lock
check_pte
check_pte() header says that it
"check if [pvmw->pfn, @pvmw->pfn + @pvmw->nr_pages) is mapped at the @pvmw->pte"
but practically works only if pvmw->pfn is the head page pfn at pvmw->pte.
Hindsight acknowledging that some pvmw->pte could point to a hugepage of
some sort such that it makes sense to make check_pte() work for hugepage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
