[ Upstream commit 3724ace582 ]
The grain in EDAC is defined as "minimum granularity for an error
report, in bytes". The following calculation of the grain_bits in
edac_mc is wrong:
grain_bits = fls_long(e->grain) + 1;
Where grain_bits is defined as:
grain = 1 << grain_bits
Example:
grain = 8 # 64 bit (8 bytes)
grain_bits = fls_long(8) + 1
grain_bits = 4 + 1 = 5
grain = 1 << grain_bits
grain = 1 << 5 = 32
Replace it with the correct calculation:
grain_bits = fls_long(e->grain - 1);
The example gives now:
grain_bits = fls_long(8 - 1)
grain_bits = fls_long(7)
grain_bits = 3
grain = 1 << 3 = 8
Also, check if the hardware reports a reasonable grain != 0 and fallback
with a warning to 1 byte granularity otherwise.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
