Merge branch 'linux_next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-edac
Pull EDAC fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "A series of EDAC driver fixes. It also has one core fix at the documentation, and a rename patch, fixing the name of the struct that contains the rank information." * 'linux_next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-edac: edac: rename channel_info to rank_info i5400_edac: Avoid calling pci_put_device() twice edac: i5100 ack error detection register after each read edac: i5100 fix erroneous define for M1Err edac: sb_edac: Fix a wrong value setting for the previous value edac: sb_edac: Fix a INTERLEAVE_MODE() misuse edac: sb_edac: Let the driver depend on PCI_MMCONFIG edac: Improve the comments to better describe the memory concepts edac/ppc4xx_edac: Fix compilation Fix sb_edac compilation with 32 bits kernels

+ * Memory Socket: A physical connector on the motherboard that accepts

*
- * Socket: A physical connector on the motherboard that accepts
- * a single memory stick.
+ * Channel: A memory controller channel, responsible to communicate
+ * with a group of DIMMs. Each channel has its own
+ * independent control (command) and data bus, and can
+ * be used independently or grouped with other channels.
*
- * Channel: Set of memory devices on a memory stick that must be
- * grouped in parallel with one or more additional
- * channels from other memory sticks. This parallel
- * grouping of the output from multiple channels are
- * necessary for the smallest granularity of memory access.
- * Some memory controllers are capable of single channel -
- * which means that memory sticks can be loaded
- * individually. Other memory controllers are only
- * capable of dual channel - which means that memory
- * sticks must be loaded as pairs (see "socket set").
+ * Branch: It is typically the highest hierarchy on a
+ * Fully-Buffered DIMM memory controller.
+ * Typically, it contains two channels.
+ * Two channels at the same branch can be used in single
+ * mode or in lockstep mode.
+ * When lockstep is enabled, the cacheline is doubled,
+ * but it generally brings some performance penalty.
+ * Also, it is generally not possible to point to just one
+ * memory stick when an error occurs, as the error
+ * correction code is calculated using two DIMMs instead
+ * of one. Due to that, it is capable of correcting more
+ * errors than on single mode.
*
- * Chip-select row: All of the memory devices that are selected together.
- * for a single, minimum grain of memory access.
- * This selects all of the parallel memory devices across
- * all of the parallel channels. Common chip-select rows
- * for single channel are 64 bits, for dual channel 128
- * bits.
+ * Single-channel: The data accessed by the memory controller is contained
+ * into one dimm only. E. g. if the data is 64 bits-wide,
+ * the data flows to the CPU using one 64 bits parallel
+ * access.
+ * Typically used with SDR, DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 memories.
+ * FB-DIMM and RAMBUS use a different concept for channel,
+ * so this concept doesn't apply there.
+ *
+ * Double-channel: The data size accessed by the memory controller is
+ * interlaced into two dimms, accessed at the same time.
+ * E. g. if the DIMM is 64 bits-wide (72 bits with ECC),
+ * the data flows to the CPU using a 128 bits parallel
+ * access.
+ *
+ * Chip-select row: This is the name of the DRAM signal used to select the
+ * DRAM ranks to be accessed. Common chip-select rows for
+ * single channel are 64 bits, for dual channel 128 bits.
+ * It may not be visible by the memory controller, as some
+ * DIMM types have a memory buffer that can hide direct
+ * access to it from the Memory Controller.
