EDAC/ghes: Fix grain calculation
The current code to convert a physical address mask to a grain (defined as granularity in bytes) is: e->grain = ~(mem_err->physical_addr_mask & ~PAGE_MASK); This is broken in several ways: 1) It calculates to wrong grain values. E.g., a physical address mask of ~0xfff should give a grain of 0x1000. Without considering PAGE_MASK, there is an off-by-one. Things are worse when also filtering it with ~PAGE_MASK. This will calculate to a grain with the upper bits set. In the example it even calculates to ~0. 2) The grain does not depend on and is unrelated to the kernel's page-size. The page-size only matters when unmapping memory in memory_failure(). Smaller grains are wrongly rounded up to the page-size, on architectures with a configurable page-size (e.g. arm64) this could round up to the even bigger page-size of the hypervisor. Fix this with: e->grain = ~mem_err->physical_addr_mask + 1; The grain_bits are defined as: grain = 1 << grain_bits; Change also the grain_bits calculation accordingly, it is the same formula as in edac_mc.c now and the code can be unified. The value in ->physical_addr_mask coming from firmware is assumed to be contiguous, but this is not sanity-checked. However, in case the mask is non-contiguous, a conversion to grain_bits effectively converts the grain bit mask to a power of 2 by rounding it up.
