Vishal Verma 9013ac4d54 acpi/nfit, x86/mce: Handle only uncorrectable machine checks 
commit 5d96c9342c upstream.

The MCE handler for nfit devices is called for memory errors on a
Non-Volatile DIMM and adds the error location to a 'badblocks' list.
This list is used by the various NVDIMM drivers to avoid consuming known
poison locations during IO.

The MCE handler gets called for both corrected and uncorrectable errors.
Until now, both kinds of errors have been added to the badblocks list.
However, corrected memory errors indicate that the problem has already
been fixed by hardware, and the resulting interrupt is merely a
notification to Linux.

As far as future accesses to that location are concerned, it is
perfectly fine to use, and thus doesn't need to be included in the above
badblocks list.

Add a check in the nfit MCE handler to filter out corrected mce events,
and only process uncorrectable errors.

README 

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.
