So this still has this confusing reporting of unpopulated nodes:

[    4.291774] EDAC MC1: Giving out device to module amd64_edac controller F17h: DEV 0000:00:19.3 (INTERRUPT)
[    4.292021] EDAC DEBUG: ecc_enabled: Node 2: No enabled UMCs.
[    4.292231] EDAC amd64: Node 2: DRAM ECC disabled.
[    4.292405] EDAC amd64: ECC disabled in the BIOS or no ECC capability, module will not load.
[    4.292859] EDAC DEBUG: ecc_enabled: Node 3: No enabled UMCs.
[    4.292963] EDAC amd64: Node 3: DRAM ECC disabled.
[    4.293063] EDAC amd64: ECC disabled in the BIOS or no ECC capability, module will not load.
[    4.293347] AMD64 EDAC driver v3.5.0

which needs fixing.

Regardless, still not good enough. The snowy owl box I have here has 16
GB:

$ head -n1 /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:       15715328 kB

and yet

[    4.282251] EDAC MC: UMC0 chip selects:
[    4.282348] EDAC DEBUG: f17_addr_mask_to_cs_size: CS0 DIMM0 AddrMasks:

[    4.283286] EDAC amd64: MC: 0:  8191MB 1:  8191MB
				   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[    4.283456] EDAC amd64: MC: 2:     0MB 3:     0MB

...

[    4.285379] EDAC MC: UMC1 chip selects:
[    4.285476] EDAC DEBUG: f17_addr_mask_to_cs_size: CS0 DIMM0 AddrMasks:

[    4.286244] EDAC amd64: MC: 0:  8191MB 1:  8191MB
				   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[    4.286345] EDAC amd64: MC: 2:     0MB 3:     0MB

which shows 4 chip selects x 8Gb = 32G.

So something's still wrong. Before the patchset it says:

EDAC MC: UMC0 chip selects:
EDAC amd64: MC: 0:  8192MB 1:     0MB
...
EDAC MC: UMC1 chip selects:
EDAC amd64: MC: 0:  8192MB 1:     0MB

which is the correct output.

Thx.
