Several questions: Is MCA an exception or fault of some sort, so at some point, the kernel would catch a fault? So when you say "Touching poisoned data become a MCA", you mean that if the CPU attempts to read poisoned data through the pci-to-host bridge, it will (at some point) catch an exception? > + ia64_mca_barrier(ret); I assume that the point of this barrier is to make sure that the fault, if any, is delivered before this routine returns? --linas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
