Subject: Re: [PATCH] EDAC: expose per-dimm error counts in sysfs

Whoops, I meant only the 0th slot in each channel.

    If your system is like the one I’m testing on, only the channel 0 DIMM slots are populated, and you injected an error for an unpopulated slot, for which no dimmX directory gets created.
    
    In edac_mc_sysfs.c:
    
        for (i = 0; i < mci->tot_dimms; i++) {
            struct dimm_info *dimm = mci->dimms[i];
            /* Only expose populated DIMMs */
            if (!dimm->nr_pages)
                continue;
    
    
    I can repro what you saw here: 
    
    $ cd /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0
    $ grep . dimm*/*location
    dimm0/dimm_location:channel 0 slot 0
    dimm3/dimm_location:channel 1 slot 0
    dimm6/dimm_location:channel 2 slot 0
    dimm9/dimm_location:channel 3 slot 0
    
    $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_channel
    $ echo 2 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_slot
    $ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_count
    $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject
    $ cat ce_count
    3
    
    $ grep . dimm*/*ce_count
    dimm0/dimm_ce_count:0
    dimm3/dimm_ce_count:0
    dimm6/dimm_ce_count:0
    dimm9/dimm_ce_count:0
    
    
    And I get what I expect for a populated slot:
    
    $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_slot
    $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject
    $ cat ce_count
    6
    
    $ grep . dimm*/*ce_count
    dimm0/dimm_ce_count:0
    dimm3/dimm_ce_count:3
    dimm6/dimm_ce_count:0
    dimm9/dimm_ce_count:0

        Especially as to *why* we need this.

        Regardless, something's still not right yet:
        
        $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_channel
        $ echo 2 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_slot
        $ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_count
               ^
        
        $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject
        
        $ grep . /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/*count
        /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/ce_count:3
        					 ^
        
        /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/ce_noinfo_count:0
        /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/ue_count:0
        /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/ue_noinfo_count:0
        
        $ grep -r . /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm*/* 2>/dev/null | grep ce_count
        /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm0/dimm_ce_count:0
        /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm3/dimm_ce_count:0

        /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm9/dimm_ce_count:0
        						    ^
        
        There should be 3 somewhere in the DIMM counters...
