Hi Doug,

I am trying to test Linux-2.6.34-rc5 EDAC driver on AMD64 Opteron. I am able to inject single bit errors and get the edac driver report the correctable errors.
But when I inject 2-bit errors, I did not see any notification or kernel log, the system simply hangs.
This happens with or without edac_mc_panic_on_ue enabled. Please let me know if I am missing something.
Below are the details.

Thanks
Prasanna

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Build Linux-2.6.34-rc5 using x86_64_defconfig with following additional config options enabled:
CONFIG_EDAC_DECODE_MCE=y
CONFIG_EDAC_MM_EDAC=y
CONFIG_EDAC_AMD64=m
CONFIG_EDAC_AMD64_ERROR_INJECTION=y
CONFIG_EDAC_E752X=m
CONFIG_EDAC_I82975X=m
CONFIG_EDAC_I3000=m
CONFIG_EDAC_I3200=m
CONFIG_EDAC_X38=m
CONFIG_EDAC_I5400=m
CONFIG_EDAC_I5000=m
CONFIG_EDAC_I5100=m

2. insert the kernel module
#insmod amd64_edac_mod.ko

3. Inject errors

# echo 3 > /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_section  
# echo 7 > /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_word
# echo 0x88 > /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_ecc_vector
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_read
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_write

4. Should hang the system in few minutes.
