edac: Fix the dimm filling for csrows-based layouts
The driver is currently filling data in a wrong way, on drivers for csrows-based memory controller, when the first layer is a csrow. This is not easily to notice, as, in general, memories are filed in dual, interleaved, symetric mode, as very few memory controllers support asymetric modes. While digging into a bug for i82795_edac driver, the asymetric mode there is now working, allowing us to fill the machine with 4x1GB ranks at channel 0, and 2x512GB at channel 1: Channel 0 ranks: EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM A0: from page 0x00000000 to 0x0003ffff (size: 0x00040000 pages) EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM A1: from page 0x00040000 to 0x0007ffff (size: 0x00040000 pages) EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM A2: from page 0x00080000 to 0x000bffff (size: 0x00040000 pages) EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM A3: from page 0x000c0000 to 0x000fffff (size: 0x00040000 pages) Channel 1 ranks: EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM B0: from page 0x00100000 to 0x0011ffff (size: 0x00020000 pages) EDAC DEBUG: i82975x_init_csrows: DIMM B1: from page 0x00120000 to 0x0013ffff (size: 0x00020000 pages) Instead of properly showing the memories as such, before this patch, it shows the memory layout as: +-----------------------------------+ | mc0 | | csrow0 | csrow1 | csrow2 | ----------+-----------------------------------+ channel1: | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | 512 MB | channel0: | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | 512 MB | ----------+-----------------------------------+ as if both channels were symetric, grouping the DIMMs on a wrong layout. After this patch, the memory is correctly represented. So, for csrows at layers[0], it shows: +-----------------------------------------------+ | mc0 | | csrow0 | csrow1 | csrow2 | csrow3 | ----------+-----------------------------------------------+ channel1: | 512 MB | 512 MB | 0 MB | 0 MB | channel0: | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | 1024 MB | ----------+-----------------------------------------------+ For csrows at layers[1], it shows: +-----------------------+ | mc0 | | channel0 | channel1 | --------+-----------------------+ csrow3: | 1024 MB | 0 MB | csrow2: | 1024 MB | 0 MB | --------+-----------------------+ csrow1: | 1024 MB | 512 MB | csrow0: | 1024 MB | 512 MB | --------+-----------------------+ So, no matter of what comes first, the information between channel and csrow will be properly represented.
