Hi, A patchset about handling 'MCE' might have been ignored, can anyone tell me whether the purpose is reasonable? https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11773795/ On 9/14/20 9:43 PM, zhenwei pi wrote: > Although QEMU could catch signal BUS to handle hardware memory > corrupted event, sadly, QEMU just prints a little log and try to fix > it silently. > > In these patches, introduce a 'MEMORY_FAILURE' event with 4 detailed > actions of QEMU, then uplayer could know what situaction QEMU hit and > did.

Just one thing, "guest-mce" can be reported for both AR and AO faults. Is it worth adding a 'type' field to distinguish the two?
