At first, I considered that only user processes have the opportunity to 
recover when they trigger memory error.

But it seems that this restriction is unreasonable. When the kernel 
thread triggers memory error, it can also be recovered. for instance:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220527190731.322722-1-jiaqiyan@google.com/

And i think if(!current->mm) shoud be added below:

if(!current->mm) {
	set_thread_esr(0, esr);
	arm64_force_sig_fault(...);
}
return true;

Yeah, here return false and will signal to task in do_sea() -> 
arm64_notify_die().

Here set fault_address to 0, i refer to the logic of arm64_notify_die().

void arm64_notify_die(...)
{
          if (user_mode(regs)) {
                  WARN_ON(regs != current_pt_regs());
                  current->thread.fault_address = 0;
                  current->thread.fault_code = err;

                  arm64_force_sig_fault(signo, sicode, far, str);
          } else {
                  die(str, regs, err);
          }
}

I don't know exactly why and do you know why arm64_notify_die() did this? :)

OK, agreed.
