Hello Kumar,

I must not understand something going on here. Your proposed code
doesn't work at all on my board. The
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/size_mb doesn't come out correctly.

What does it come out as?  How much memory do you have in the system?


The size_mb shows as 0 with your code. See the explanation below. With
my code it shows as 256MB, as expected.

I have 256MB memory in the system.

The attached patch DOES work on my board, but I'm confident that it
does
NOT work on a system with PAGE_SIZE != 4096. Any idea what I did
wrong?

If I'm reading things correctly:
csrow->first_page    full address of the first page (NOT pfn)
csrow->last_page     full address of the last  page (NOT pfn)
csrow->nr_pages              number of pages

The EDAC subsystem does csrow->nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE to get the size_mb
sysfs value.

If csrow->first_page and csrow->last_page ARE supposed to be the pfn,
then I think the original code got it wrong, and the calculation for
csrow->nr_pages needs to be changed.

Thanks,
Ira

can you printk what cs_bnds values are in your setup.


I am only using a single chip select. CS0_BNDS (register 0xe0002000) is
0x0000000F.

This is the same in both our versions.

start == 0x0
end   == 0xF

                if (start == end)
                        continue;       /* not populated */

-               csrow->first_page = start >> PAGE_SHIFT;
-               csrow->last_page = end >> PAGE_SHIFT;
+               start <<= PAGE_SHIFT;
+               end   <<= PAGE_SHIFT;
+               end    |= (1 << PAGE_SHIFT) - 1;
+

MY VERSION

start == 0x0
end   == 0xffff

first_page == 0x0
last_page  == 0xffff

YOUR VERSION (<<= (20 - PAGE_SHIFT), etc.)

My math was wrong it should be ( <<= (24 - PAGE_SHIFT) )

With that I think things work out.

- k



start == 0x0
end   == 0xfff

first_page == 0x0
last_page  == 0x0

+               csrow->first_page = start;
+               csrow->last_page = end;

This seems odd to me... I can't believe this is working out properly.


                csrow->nr_pages = csrow->last_page + 1 - csrow->first_page;

The calculation is unchanged here from the original code. Due to the
">> PAGE_SHIFT", nr_pages ends up as 1 in your version.

MY VERSION

nr_pages == 0xffff + 1 - 0 == 0x10000

0x10000 * 4096 / 1024 / 1024 == 256 MB


YOUR VERSION

nr_pages == 0x0 + 1 - 0x0 == 1

0x1 * 4096 / 1024 / 1024 == 0MB

                csrow->grain = 8;
                csrow->mtype = mtype;


Lets get some real values on the table for your system so I can get a
sense of what's really going on.


Thanks for the help.
Ira
