[PATCH] Raise maximum number of memory controllers

From: Justin Ernst
Date: Tue Sep 25 2018 - 11:22:57 EST


We observe an oops in the skx_edac module during boot.
Examining /var/log/messages:
[ 3401.985757] EDAC MC0: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#0 IMC#0
[ 3401.985887] EDAC MC1: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#0 IMC#1
[ 3401.986014] EDAC MC2: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#1 IMC#0
...
[ 3401.987318] EDAC MC13: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#0 IMC#1
[ 3401.987435] EDAC MC14: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#1 IMC#0
[ 3401.987556] EDAC MC15: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#1 IMC#1
[ 3401.987579] Too many memory controllers: 16
[ 3402.042614] EDAC MC: Removed device 0 for skx_edac Skylake Socket#0 IMC#0

We observe there are two memory controllers per socket, with a limit of 16.
Raise the maximum number of memory controllers from 16 to 2 * MAX_NUMNODES (1024).
