The scenario I'm worrying about is that is_hest_sync_notify() returns true when this code is called for AO MCE (so asynchronous one). Then, ghes_do_memory_failure() (updated by your patch 2/2) will choose to use task_work instead of memory_failure_queue(). This should not be expected.

This should not be expected. > Or does that never happen? I think you are right. On x86 platform with MCA, patrol scrub errors are asynchronous error, which are by default signaled with MCE. It is possible to downgrade the patrol scrub SRAO to UCNA or other correctable error in the logging/signaling behavior and signal CMCI only. As far as I know, on X86 platform, MCE is handled in do_machche_check() and only asynchronous error is notified through HEST. Can we safely drop ACPI_HEST_NOTIFY_MCE and only consider ACPI_HEST_NOTIFY_SEA as synchronous notification? Tony, do you have any comments on this? Please point out if I am wrong.

You are correct. On x86 the HEST notifications are always asynchronous. The only synchronous events are machine check with IA32_MCi_STATUS.AR == 1 (patrol scrub and cache eviction machine checks are async and do not set this bit). -Tony

There are two major types of uncorrected recoverable (UCR) errors : - Action Required (AR): The error is detected and the processor already consumes the memory. OS requires to take action (for example, offline failure page/kill failure thread) to recover this uncorrectable error. - Action Optional (AO): The error is detected out of processor execution context. Some data in the memory are corrupted. But the data have not been consumed. OS is optional to take action to recover this uncorrectable error. The essential difference between AR and AO errors is that AR is a synchronous event, while AO is an asynchronous event. The hardware will signal a synchronous exception (Machine Check Exception on X86 and Synchronous External Abort on Arm64) when an error is detected and the memory access has been architecturally executed. When APEI firmware first is enabled, a platform may describe one error source for the handling of synchronous errors (e.g. MCE or SEA notification ), or for handling asynchronous errors (e.g. SCI or External Interrupt notification). In other words, we can distinguish synchronous errors by APEI notification. For AR errors, kernel will kill current process accessing the poisoned page by sending SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AR. In addition, for AO errors, kernel will notify the process who owns the poisoned page by sending SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AO in early kill mode. However, the GHES driver always sets mf_flags to 0 so that all UCR errors are handled as AO errors in memory failure. To this end, set memory failure flags as MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on synchronous events.
