[PATCH v2] x86: Prevent oops with >16 memory controllers

From: Daniel J Blueman
Date: Mon Feb 16 2015 - 22:37:59 EST


When ECC interrupts occur on memory controllers after EDAC_MAX_MCS (16), the
kernel fatally dereferences unallocated structures [1]; this occurs on at
least NumaConnect systems.

Fix by checking if a memory controller info structure was found; candidate for
stable.

v1->2: Use edac_mc_find() as per Boris's suggestion
