The current code extracts the physical address for UE errors and then
hooks it up into memory failure infrastructure. On successful
extraction of physical address it wrongly sets "handled = 1" which
means this UE error has been recovered. Since MCE handler gets return
value as handled = 1, it assumes that error has been recovered and
goes back to same NIP. This causes MCE interrupt again and again in a
loop leading to hard lockup.
Also, initialize phys_addr to ULONG_MAX so that we don't end up
queuing undesired page to hwpoison.
Without this patch we see:

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
