[PATCH 1/1] EDAC, sb_edac: Fix out of bound write during DIMM configuration on KNL

[PATCH 1/1] EDAC, sb_edac: Fix out of bound write during DIMM configuration on KNL

[Anna Karbownik]

From: akarbown <anna.karbownik@intel.com>

In one of the previous patches we decreased NUM_CHANNELS from 8 to 4, but
it is not enough for Knights Landing which supports up to 6 channels.

This caused unattended writes to pvt->mirror_mode and pvt->tolm variables
which don't pay critical role on KNL code path, so driver was somehow functional.

The easiest way of fixing it is to change NUM_CHANNELS to 6.
An alternative solution would be to restructure KNL part of the driver to
2MC/3channel representation.

We say which patch it was.

Anyway, corrected and applied the below, thanks.

  3286d3eb906c ("EDAC, sb_edac: Drop NUM_CHANNELS from 8 back to 4")

decreased NUM_CHANNELS from 8 to 4, but this is not enough for Knights
Landing which supports up to 6 channels.

This caused out-of-bounds writes to pvt->mirror_mode and pvt->tolm
variables which don't pay critical role on KNL code path, so the memory
corruption wasn't causing any visible driver failures.

The easiest way of fixing it is to change NUM_CHANNELS to 6. Do that.

An alternative solution would be to restructure the KNL part of the
driver to 2MC/3channel representation.
