When multiple processes mmap() a dax file, then at some point, a process issues a 'load' and consumes a hwpoison, the process receives a SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR and with si_lsb set for the poison scope. Soon after, any other process issues a 'load' to the poisoned page (that is unmapped from the kernel side by memory_failure), it receives a SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_ADRERR and without valid si_lsb. This is confusing to user, and is different from page fault due to poison in RAM memory, also some helpful information is lost. Channel dax backend driver's poison detection to the filesystem such that instead of reporting VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, it could report VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. If user level block IO syscalls fail due to poison, the errno will be converted to EIO to maintain block API consistency.
