I don't think it makes sense to handle something like that with a list. The compact representation currently in badram is great for that.
I'd tend to agree here. Rick has made a convincing argument that there are significant numbers of real world cases where a defective row/column in a DIMM results in a predictable pattern of errors. The ball is now in Google's court to take a look at their systems that have high numbers of errors to see if they can actually be described by a small number of BadRAM patterns as Rick has claimed. -Tony -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
