Subject: EDAC, sb_edac: Don't create a second memory controller if HA1 is not present
From: Qiuxu Zhuo <qiuxu.zhuo@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 15cc3ae001873845b5d842e212478a6570c7d938 upstream.
Yi Zhang reported the following failure on a 2-socket Haswell (E5-2603v3)
server (DELL PowerEdge 730xd):
EDAC sbridge: Some needed devices are missing
EDAC MC: Removed device 0 for sb_edac.c Haswell SrcID#0_Ha#0: DEV 0000:7f:12.0
EDAC MC: Removed device 1 for sb_edac.c Haswell SrcID#1_Ha#0: DEV 0000:ff:12.0
EDAC sbridge: Couldn't find mci handler
EDAC sbridge: Couldn't find mci handler
EDAC sbridge: Failed to register device with error -19.
The refactored sb_edac driver creates the IMC1 (the 2nd memory
controller) if any IMC1 device is present. In this case only
HA1_TA of IMC1 was present, but the driver expected to find
HA1/HA1_TM/HA1_TAD[0-3] devices too, leading to the above failure.
The document [1] says the 'E5-2603 v3' CPU has 4 memory channels max. Yi
Zhang inserted one DIMM per channel for each CPU, and did random error
address injection test with this patch:
4024 addresses fell in TOLM hole area
12715 addresses fell in CPU_SrcID#0_Ha#0_Chan#0_DIMM#0
12774 addresses fell in CPU_SrcID#0_Ha#0_Chan#1_DIMM#0
12798 addresses fell in CPU_SrcID#0_Ha#0_Chan#2_DIMM#0
12913 addresses fell in CPU_SrcID#0_Ha#0_Chan#3_DIMM#0
12674 addresses fell in CPU_SrcID#1_Ha#0_Chan#0_DIMM#0
12686 addresses fell in CPU_SrcID#1_Ha#0_Chan#1_DIMM#0
12882 addresses fell in CPU_SrcID#1_Ha#0_Chan#2_DIMM#0
12934 addresses fell in CPU_SrcID#1_Ha#0_Chan#3_DIMM#0
106400 addresses were injected totally.
The test result shows that all the 4 channels belong to IMC0 per CPU, so
the server really only has one IMC per CPU.
In the 1st page of chapter 2 in datasheet [2], it also says 'E5-2600 v3'
implements either one or two IMCs. For CPUs with one IMC, IMC1 is not
used and should be ignored.
Thus, do not create a second memory controller if the key HA1 is absent.
