The patchset should allow (on newer Intel x86 hw with a newer linux kernel) a class of memory errors delivered to the host OS as MCEs to be propagated to the guest OS. Without the patchset, the qemu process assoicated with the memory where the error took place would be killed. With the patchset, qemu can propagate the error into the guest and allow the guest to kill only the process within the guest that is assocated with the memory error. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

It would've been nice to see MCE spelled out or summarized for those of us that don't speak x86.
