Re: [PATCH] EDAC/Intel: Do not load EDAC driver when running as a guest
From: Luck, Tony
Date: Tue Jun 15 2021 - 12:45:29 EST
There's little to no point in loading an EDAC driver running in a guest:
1) The CPU model reported by CPUID may not represent actual h/w
2) The hypervisor likely does not pass in access to memory controller devices
3) Hypervisors generally do not pass corrected error details to guests
Add a check in each of the Intel EDAC drivers for X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR
and simply return -ENODEV in the init routine.
