Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Intel platform driver to reset bitfix filters
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 11:15:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825181526.13203-1-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
Some Intel CPUs implement a "bitfix filter" to suppress reporting of the
same corrected errors repeatedly in the case where aging silicon
develops stuck bits.
But when systems run for weeks, or months, the filters may become clogged
with transient errors.
When the filter is full (indicated by a "yellow" signature in a machine
check bank) clear the filter. This may make space for additional hard
errors.
Save a time stamp when clearing a filter. Log with "WARN" severity if
the filter overflows quickly (in tem minutes or less).
This code was originally developend by Qiuxu as an add-on to an EDAC
driver. But not everyone wants to run an EDAC driver, so I pulled the
code out into a standalone platform driver. Much of Qiuxu's code was
cut-and-pasted into this driver, so he gets Co-developed-by credit
throughout.
