When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when the data is about to be consumed. If the CMCI wins that race, the page is marked poisoned when uc_decode_notifier() calls memory_failure() and the machine check processing code finds the page already poisoned. It calls kill_accessing_process() to make sure a SIGBUS is sent. But returns the wrong error code. Console log looks like this: mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at 3710b3400 Memory failure: 0x3710b3: recovery action for dirty LRU page: Recovered Memory failure: 0x3710b3: already hardware poisoned Memory failure: 0x3710b3: Sending SIGBUS to einj_mem_uc:361438 due to hardware memory corruption mce: Memory error not recovered kill_accessing_process() is supposed to return -EHWPOISON to notify that SIGBUS is already set to the process and kill_me_maybe() doesn't have to send it again. But current code simply fails to do this, so fix it to make sure to work as intended. This change avoids the noise message "Memory error not recovered" and skips duplicate SIGBUSs.

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.
