SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] 1/2 EDAC (Core Code)
Digg This
Hi!

This is a pair of patches that add the basic ECC and related chipset handling to the kernel. Various "interesting" patches have kicked around since Dan Hollis original work some years ago. Since then many people have picked up the code and improved on it.

The current code (bluesmoke.sf.net) has some very fancy NMI handling features and other complex open issues with NMI during a PCI transaction and the like.

This code is a subset and the maintainer agrees this is the best approach to merging.

From the original repository

- 2.4 and other compatibility code removed
- Some commenting added
- A couple of 32bit isms cleaned up
- Move several drivers from pci_find to pci_get
- Remove all the NMI layer handling so that the code requires no core changes
- Rename from bluesmoke to EDAC (Correct name for the whole field of ECC and friends) to avoid confusion

I'd say thta bluesmoke is *way* better name than EDAC. We don't need yet another ETLA.
