3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit deb09ddaff1435f72dd598d38f9b58354c68a5ec upstream.
Sandy bridge EDAC is calculating the memory size with overflow.
Basically, the size field and the integer calculation is using 32 bits.
More bits are needed, when the DIMM memories have high density.
The net result is that memories are improperly reported there, when
high-density DIMMs are used:
EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/sb_edac.c, line at 591: mc#0: channel 0, dimm 0, -16384 Mb (-4194304 pages) bank: 8, rank: 2, row: 0x10000, col: 0x800
EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/sb_edac.c, line at 591: mc#0: channel 1, dimm 0, -16384 Mb (-4194304 pages) bank: 8, rank: 2, row: 0x10000, col: 0x800
As the number of pages value is handled at the EDAC core as unsigned
ints, the driver shows the 16 GB memories at sysfs interface as 16760832
MB! The fix is simple: calculate the number of pages as unsigned 64-bits
integer.
After the patch, the memory size (16 GB) is properly detected:
EDAC DEBUG: in drivers/edac/sb_edac.c, line at 592: mc#0: channel 0, dimm 0, 16384 Mb (4194304 pages) bank: 8, rank: 2, row: 0x10000, col: 0x800
