SubjectRE: [PATCH 0/3] HWPOISON: improve memory error handling for multithread process
Date

No - the old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might
well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then that
thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if that
thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

Perhaps the description for the commit should better reflect that?
