3) Nehalem specific Corrected Error memory counters
|
||||
|
||||
Nehalem have some registers to count memory errors, reporting it on a
|
||||
way that it is different from what EDAC API allows. Due to that, a
|
||||
separate sysfs note were created to handle such counters.
|
||||
Nehalem have some registers to count memory errors. The driver uses those
|
||||
registers to report Corrected Errors on devices with Registered Dimms.
|
||||
|
||||
They can be read by looking at the contents of "corrected_error_counts"
|
||||
counter. Due to hardware limits, the output is different on machines
|
||||
with unregistered memories and machines with registered ones.
|
||||
However, those counters don't work with Unregistered Dimms. As the chipset
|
||||
offers some counters that also work with UDIMMS (but with a worse level of
|
||||
granularity than the default ones), the driver exposes those registers for
|
||||
UDIMM memories.
|
||||
|
||||
With unregistered memories, it outputs:
|
||||
They can be read by looking at the contents of all_channel_counts/
|
||||
|
||||
$ cat /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/corrected_error_counts
|
||||
all channels UDIMM0: 0 UDIMM1: 0 UDIMM2: 0
|
||||
$ for i in /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/*; do echo $i; cat $i; done

What happens here is that errors on different csrows, but at the same
|
||||
dimm number will increment the same counter.

csrow1: channel 0, dimm1

|

The hardware will increment UDIMM0 for an error at either csrow0, csrow2
|
||||
or csrow3.
|

|

With registered memories, it outputs:

channel 2 RDIMM0: 0 RDIMM1: 0 RDIMM2: 0

|

So, with registered memories, there's a direct map between a csrow and a
|
||||
counter.
|

The hardware will increment udimm0 for an error at the first dimm at either

csrow0, csrow2 or csrow3;

The hardware will increment udimm1 for an error at the second dimm at either

4) Standard error counters
|

|

The standard error counters are generated when an mcelog error is received
|

by the driver. Since it is counted by software, it is possible that some

errors could be lost.
