Subject: [v2 PATCH 2/2] Update documentation for parameter *notrigger* in einj.txt
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 16:53:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331801617-15882-3-git-send-email-gong.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1331801617-15882-1-git-send-email-gong.chen@linux.intel.com>
Add description of parameter notrigger in the einj.txt.
One can utilize this new parameter to do some SRAR injection
test. Pay attention, the operation is highly depended on the
BIOS implementation. If no proper BIOS supports it, even if
enabling this parameter, expected result will not happen.
v2:
Update the documentation suggested by Tony

+ The EINJ mechanism is a two step process. First inject the error, then

BIOS versions based in the ACPI 4.0 specification have limited options
to control where the errors are injected. Your BIOS may support an
extension (enabled with the param_extension=1 module parameter, or
