Subject: Re: [PATCH] acpi: apei: fix the wrongly parse generic error status
 block

I removed the apei_estatus_for_each_section because it was only being 
used in this one spot even though several other parts of the code do the 
same iteration (it is done several times in the CPER code). I made this 
iteration match the CPER iterations because the CPER iterations are 
verifying that the structures are all valid and lengths are correct. If 
those checks are being done this way, it makes the most sense to mimic 
that iteration here when calling into EDAC and triggering trace events.

Thanks,

Tyler
