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

From: Daniel J Blueman
Date: Fri Feb 13 2015 - 22:20:46 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.

Minimally fix by checking if a memory controller info structure is allocated;
candidate for stable.
