I tried this series on an Intel Icelake (which as far as I know doesn't support CXL). Couple of oddities: 1) I built as a module (CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ=m) like I normally do. But this was autoloaded and EINJ initialized during boot: [ 33.909111] EINJ: Error INJection is initialized. I'm wondering if that might be a problem for anyone that likes to leave the einj module not loaded until they have some need to inject errors. 2) Even though my system doesn't have any CXL support, I found this: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/cxl/einj_types 0x00001000 CXL.cache Protocol Correctable What does this mean? Using ras-tools I injected some DDR memory errors. So legacy functionality still works OK. -Tony

In the current code it should only load if cxl_core.ko is also loaded. Can you share the output of lsmod to maybe see which module loaded that dependency? > I'm wondering if that might be a problem for anyone that likes to > leave the einj module not loaded until they have some need to > inject errors. That is a behavior change of this approach. Is it a problem? If it is I would say that we need to break out a new cxl_einj.ko module that when it loads walks the CXL topology and creates the debugfs files. Otherwise my assumption is that CONFIG_CXL_EINJ=y means that cxl_core.ko loads einj.ko unconditionally. I would save that work for a clear description of why einj.ko should not be resident. > 2) Even though my system doesn't have any CXL support, I found this: > > # cat /sys/kernel/debug/cxl/einj_types > 0x00001000 CXL.cache Protocol Correctable > > What does this mean? Strange, does: /sys/kernel/debug/einj/available_error_type ...show the same even before these patches?

I.e. maybe this pre-CXL BIOS was > using the 0x1000 encoding when it should not? > Dan's already alluded to this, but to elaborate: This series doesn't do anything different than before when getting available error types, it just puts the CXL types into the "einj_types" file instead. So it's possible that your platform doesn't have CXL support, but it is reporting a CXL error type for EINJ. This could be a BIOS error, or it could be that the BIOS is pre ACPIv6.5 and was using 0x1000 for a different error type and the kernel is interpreting it as a CXL error type. If you think something else is happening, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks, Ben >> Using ras-tools I injected some DDR memory errors. So legacy >> functionality still works OK. >> >> -Tony > > >

Personally, it would save me having to type "modprobe einj" to run tests (and answer e-mails from validation folks telling they missed this step). But others might feels this is unwanted. It looks like some distros build kernels with CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ=m. On the other hand, EINJ should be under control of a BIOS option that defaults to "off". So production systems won't enable it. But perhaps there will be a pr_warn() or pr_err() during boot. One of these will likely trip: pr_warn("EINJ table not found.\n"); pr_err("Failed to get EINJ table: %s\n", acpi_format_exception(status)); pr_warn(FW_BUG "Invalid EINJ table.\n"); pr_err("Error collecting EINJ resources.\n"); > > > 2) Even though my system doesn't have any CXL support, I found this: > > > > # cat /sys/kernel/debug/cxl/einj_types > > 0x00001000 CXL.cache Protocol Correctable > > > > What does this mean? > > Strange, does: > > /sys/kernel/debug/einj/available_error_type > > ...show the same even before these patches? I.e. maybe this pre-CXL BIOS was > using the 0x1000 encoding when it should not? I added a printk() to show the raw value returned by my BIOS: 0x80001038 So your guess is correct.

The winner (for me) is: [ 27.989081] EINJ: EINJ table not found. If you decide that it is OK to auto-load, I think that needs severity downgraded to pr_info(). Users ask questions when they see warnings. -Tony

However, should a debug module really be throwing pr_err() or pr_warn()? I.e. should those all move to pr_info() or pr_debug() since the error case is detected by the lack of debugfs files being published. At least that would be my preference over creating cxl_einj.ko.

Sounds good, I missed this before sending my last reply.
