Some user who install SIGBUS handler that does longjmp out
What the longjmp about ? Are you referring to the mechanism of catching the
signal which was registered ?
AFAIK, longjmp() might be useful for signal-based retrying, so highly
optimized applications like Oracle DB might want to utilize it to handle
memory errors in application level, I guess.
therefore keeping the process alive is confused by the error
message
"[188988.765862] Memory failure: 0x1840200: Killing
cellsrv:33395 due to hardware memory corruption"
Its a valid point because those are two distinct actions.
Slightly modify the error message to improve clarity.

As both the pr_err() messages are very similar, could not we just switch between
"Killing"
and "Sending SIGBUS to" based on a variable e.g action_[kill|sigbus] evaluated
previously
with ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t->mm == current->mm).
That might need additional if sentence, which I'm not sure worth doing.
I think that the simplest fix for the reported problem (a confusing message)
is like below:
- pr_err("Memory failure: %#lx: Killing %s:%d due to hardware memory
corruption\n",
+ pr_err("Memory failure: %#lx: Sending SIGBUS to %s:%d due to
hardware memory corruption\n",
pfn, t->comm, t->pid);
Or, if we have a good reason to separate the message for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED and
MF_ACTION_OPTIONAL, that might be OK.
