dump_user_range() is used to copy the user page to a coredump file, but if a hardware memory error occurred during copy, which called from __kernel_write_iter() in dump_user_range(), it crashes, CPU: 112 PID: 7014 Comm: mca-recover Not tainted 6.3.0-rc2 #425 pc : __memcpy+0x110/0x260 lr : _copy_from_iter+0x3bc/0x4c8 ...

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.
