Subject: [PATCH] edac: i5100 ack error detection register after each read
Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 17:12:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323447135-25914-1-git-send-email-niklas.soderlund@ericsson.com> (raw)
If I only ack the detection register after a error have been detected
I'm unable to reliably detect errors. I have verified this behavior
using both an error injection DIMM and software to inject errors.
I can't find any documentation supporting this behavior in Intel 5100
Memory Controller Hub Chipset, see 1. So this is all based on
experimentation.
