From: Borislav Petkov Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:15:57 +0000 (+0100) Subject: amd64_edac: Do not falsely trigger kerneloops X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~9833^2~3181^2 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cab4d27764d5a8654212b3e96eb0ae793aec5b94;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git amd64_edac: Do not falsely trigger kerneloops An unfortunate "WARNING" in the message amd64_edac dumps when the system doesn't support DRAM ECC or ECC checking is not enabled in the BIOS used to trigger kerneloops which qualified the message as an OOPS thus misleading the users. See, e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/422536 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15238 Downgrade the message level to KERN_NOTICE and fix the formulation.
