The GHES code calls memory_failure_queue() from IRQ context to queue work
into workqueue and schedule it on the current CPU. Then the work is
processed in memory_failure_work_func() by kworker and calls
memory_failure().
When a page is already poisoned, commit a3f5d80ea401 ("mm,hwpoison: send
SIGBUS with error virutal address") make memory_failure() call
kill_accessing_process() that:
- holds mmap locking of current->mm
- does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address
- and sends SIGBUS to the current process with error info.
However, the mm of kworker is not valid, resulting in a null-pointer
dereference. So check mm when killing the accessing process.

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.
