Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/3] support for broken memory modules (BadRAM)

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your response.  My sincere apologies for not posting the
work directly.

My intention is to point interested parties to contributions that
Google has made to this space through known and respected channels.
The cited research is not my research but the research of my
colleagues.  As a result, I hesitate to paraphrase the work as I will
likely get the details wrong.  In any case, Shane's points are the
most relevant for the discussion here.  Please refer to his post in
this thread.

In an attempt to contribute to the community as much as I can, I have
prepared and mailed our BadRAM patch as requested.  In case it is not
otherwise clear, my belief is that the ideal solution for the upstream
kernel is a hybrid of our approaches.

Thank you,
CraigB
