Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce/amd: Filter bogus L3 deferred errors on CZN A0
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 09:08:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260228140814.76375-1-yazen.ghannam@amd.com> (raw)

User has observed multiple L3 cache deferred errors logs after recent
kernel rework of deferred error handling. [1]

Upon inspection, the errors are determined to be bogus due to
inconsistent status values. Also, user verified that bogus MCA_DESTAT
values are present on the system even with an older kernel. [2] The
errors seem to be garbage values present in the MCA_DESTAT of some L3
cache banks. These were implicitly ignored before the recent kernel
rework because these do not generate a deferred error interrupt.

A later revision of the rework patch was merged for v6.19. This
naturally filtered out most of the bogus error logs. However, a few
signatures still remain. [3]

Add the remaining bogus signatures to the MCE filter function. Minimize
the scope of the filter to the reported CPU family/model/stepping so
that similar issues are not implicitly masked on other systems.
