[ Upstream commit f9781bb18ed828e7b83b7bac4a4ad7cd497ee7d7 ]
When memory poison consumption machine checks fire, MCE notifier
handlers like nfit_handle_mce() record the impacted physical address
range which is reported by the hardware in the MCi_MISC MSR. The error
information includes data about blast radius, i.e. how many cachelines
did the hardware determine are impacted. A recent change
7917f9cdb503 ("acpi/nfit: rely on mce->misc to determine poison granularity")
updated nfit_handle_mce() to stop hard coding the blast radius value of
1 cacheline, and instead rely on the blast radius reported in 'struct
mce' which can be up to 4K (64 cachelines).
It turns out that apei_mce_report_mem_error() had a similar problem in
that it hard coded a blast radius of 4K rather than reading the blast
radius from the error information. Fix apei_mce_report_mem_error() to
convey the proper poison granularity.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
