Subject: RE: [PATCH v3] x86/mce: retrieve poison range from hardware
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2022 16:19:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41db4a4b17a848798e487a058a2bc237@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220717234805.1084386-1-jane.chu@oracle.com>

+	m.misc = (MCI_MISC_ADDR_PHYS << 6) | __ffs64(mem_err->physical_addr_mask);

Do we want to unconditionally trust the sanity of the BIOS provided physical_address_mask?

There's a warning comment on the kernel __ffs64() function:

 * The result is not defined if no bits are set, so check that @word
 * is non-zero before calling this.

Otherwise, this looks like a good idea.
