[PATCH v2 01/24] EDAC, mc: Fix grain_bits calculation
From: Robert Richter
Date: Mon Jun 24 2019 - 11:09:10 EST
The grain in edac is defined as "minimum granularity for an error
report, in bytes". The following calculation of the grain_bits in
edac_mc is wrong:
grain_bits = fls_long(e->grain) + 1;
Where grain_bits is defined as:
grain = 1 << grain_bits
Example:
grain = 8 # 64 bit (8 bytes)
grain_bits = fls_long(8) + 1
grain_bits = 4 + 1 = 5
grain = 1 << grain_bits
grain = 1 << 5 = 32
Replacing it with the correct calculation:
grain_bits = fls_long(e->grain - 1);
The example gives now:
grain_bits = fls_long(8 - 1)
grain_bits = fls_long(8 - 1)
grain_bits = 3
grain = 1 << 3 = 8
Note: We need to check if the hardware reports a reasonable grain != 0
and fallback with a warn_once and 1 byte granularity otherwise.
