Robert Richter fe8fc7d7cb EDAC/mc: Fix grain_bits calculation
[ Upstream commit 3724ace582 ]

The grain in EDAC is defined as "minimum granularity for an error
report, in bytes". The following calculation of the grain_bits in
edac_mc is wrong:

	grain_bits = fls_long(e->grain) + 1;

Where grain_bits is defined as:

	grain = 1 << grain_bits

Example:

	grain = 8	# 64 bit (8 bytes)
	grain_bits = fls_long(8) + 1
	grain_bits = 4 + 1 = 5

	grain = 1 << grain_bits
	grain = 1 << 5 = 32

Replace it with the correct calculation:

	grain_bits = fls_long(e->grain - 1);

The example gives now:

	grain_bits = fls_long(8 - 1)
	grain_bits = fls_long(7)
	grain_bits = 3

	grain = 1 << 3 = 8

Also, check if the hardware reports a reasonable grain != 0 and fallback
with a warning to 1 byte granularity otherwise.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
