SubjectRe: [ PATCH stable v4.19] EDAC: Drop per-memory controller buses
Date
Hi Greg

With this patch , we are removing per-MC bus, this removes dependency on value of max number of controllers (EDAC_MAX_MCS) which is hardcoded to 2 * MAX_NUMNODES in all stable versions of kernel.

On two nodes system MAX_NUMNODES value is ‘1’ , so value of max number of memory controller becomes ‘2’, this patch fixes this issue when there are only 2 nodes on the system and number of memory controllers are more than ‘2'

Why is this a patch for the stable trees? What problem does it solve?
