Subject: [PATCH 4/5] x86/mce: Clarify comments regarding deferred error
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 14:02:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457355741-32651-5-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1457355741-32651-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>
From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan <Aravind.Gopalakrishnan@amd.com>
Deferred errors indicate errors that hardware could not fix. But it
still does not cause any interruption to program flow. So it does not
generate any #MC and UC bit in MCx_STATUS is not set.
Correct comment.
