If your system is like the one I’m testing on, only the channel 0 DIMM slots are populated, and you injected an error for an unpopulated slot, for which no dimmX directory gets created.
In edac_mc_sysfs.c: for (i = 0; i < mci->tot_dimms; i++) { struct dimm_info *dimm = mci->dimms[i]; /* Only expose populated DIMMs */ if (!dimm->nr_pages) continue; I can repro what you saw here: $ cd /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0 $ grep . dimm*/*location dimm0/dimm_location:channel 0 slot 0 dimm3/dimm_location:channel 1 slot 0 dimm6/dimm_location:channel 2 slot 0 dimm9/dimm_location:channel 3 slot 0 $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_channel $ echo 2 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_slot $ echo 3 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_count $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject $ cat ce_count 3 $ grep . dimm*/*ce_count dimm0/dimm_ce_count:0 dimm3/dimm_ce_count:0 dimm6/dimm_ce_count:0 dimm9/dimm_ce_count:0 And I get what I expect for a populated slot: $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject_slot $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/edac/mc0/fake_inject $ cat ce_count 6 $ grep . dimm*/*ce_count dimm0/dimm_ce_count:0 dimm3/dimm_ce_count:3 dimm6/dimm_ce_count:0 dimm9/dimm_ce_count:0 On 10/27/16, 11:07 AM, "Borislav Petkov" <b...@alien8.de> wrote: On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 04:25:51PM -0700, Aaron Miller wrote: <--- This patch needs a commit message.
