Patch series "hwpoison: fixes signaling on memory error" This is a small patchset to solve issues in memory error handler to send SIGBUS to proper process/thread as expected in configuration. Please see descriptions in individual patches for more details. This patch (of 2): Early-kill policy is controlled from two types of settings, one is per-process setting prctl(PR_MCE_KILL) and the other is system-wide setting vm.memory_failure_early_kill. Users expect per-process setting to override system-wide setting as many other settings do, but early-kill setting doesn't work as such. For example, if a system configures vm.memory_failure_early_kill to 1 (enabled), a process receives SIGBUS even if it's configured to explicitly disable PF_MCE_KILL by prctl(). That's not desirable for applications with their own policies. This patch is suggesting to change the priority of these two types of settings, by checking sysctl_memory_failure_early_kill only when a given process has the default kill policy. Note that this patch is solving a thread choice issue too. Originally, collect_procs() always chooses the main thread when vm.memory_failure_early_kill is 1, even if the process has a dedicated thread for memory error handling. SIGBUS should be sent to the dedicated thread if early-kill is enabled via vm.memory_failure_early_kill as we are doing for PR_MCE_KILL_EARLY processes.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
