The mce handler for 'nfit' devices is called for memory errors on a Non-Volatile DIMM, and adds the error location to a 'badblocks' list. This list is used by the various NVDIMM drivers to avoid consuming known poison locations during IO.
The mce handler gets called for both corrected and uncorrectable errors. Until now, both kinds of errors have been added to the badblocks list. However, corrected memory errors indicate that the problem has already been fixed by hardware, and the resulting interrupt is merely a notification to Linux. As far as future accesses to that location are concerned, it is perfectly fine to use, and thus doesn't need to be included in the above badblocks list.
Add a check in the nfit mce handler to filter out corrected mce events, and only process uncorrectable errors.

Do you have anything concrete in mind that might go wrong or just a general cautiousness?
Or do you think the hw might not spit what mce_usable_address() is checking for, for NVDIMM MCEs, so that you'd like to be able to revert that second patch?
Thx.

Just general cautiousness, I'm not opposed to squashing them.

mce_usable_address() should not have any sensitivity to NVDIMM vs DRAM MCEs.

Nah, I can keep them separate - I was just wondering why.

acpi/nfit, x86/mce: Validate a MCE's address before using it
The NFIT machine check handler uses the physical address from the mce structure, and compares it against information in the ACPI NFIT table to determine whether that location lies on an NVDIMM. The mce->addr field however may not always be valid, and this is indicated by the MCI_STATUS_ADDRV bit in the status field.

Sorry for necroposting. I thought the point of the CEC was to make sure that the other registered decoders only ever saw uncorrected errors. How do we end up getting called with a correctable error?
Thanks, Jeff
