Using the EDAC code in kernel.org kernel version 2.6.23.8 I am seeing the
following problem:
In the kernel there is a pci device attribute located in sysfs that is
checked by the EDAC PCI scanning code. If that attribute is set,
PCI parity/error scannining is skipped for that device. The attribute
is:
broken_parity_status
as is located in /sys/devices/pci<XXX>/0000:XX:YY.Z directorys for
PCI devices.
I don't think this check was actually implemented. I have a misbehaved card
that reports a parity error every 1000 ms:
Nov 25 07:28:43 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Nov 25 07:28:44 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Nov 25 07:28:45 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Setting that card's broken_parity_status bit did not mask the error:
echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:05:01.0/broken_parity_status
I looked through the EDAC code and did not readily see any reference to
broken_parity_status at all (which makes sense based on the behavior I am
seeing). I applied the following patch as a proof-of-concept and now EDAC's
PCI parity error reporting behaves as documented:

Good regression find, bryan. It used to work. sigh.
I added more logic to your patch, for more coverage of the error.

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's
kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with
kobject_put().

Stop using kobject_register, as this way we can control the sending of
the uevent properly, after everything is properly initialized.

This patch fixes sysfs exit code for the EDAC PCI device in a similiar manner
and the previous fixes for EDAC_MC and EDAC_DEVICE.
It removes the old (and incorrect) completion model and uses reference counts
on per instance kobjects and on the edac core module.
This pattern was applied to the edac_mc and edac_device code, but the EDAC PCI
code was missed. In addition, this fixes a system hang after a low level
driver was unloaded. (A cleanup function was called twice, which really
screwed things up)

This patch fixes some remnant spaces inserted by the use of Lindent.
Seems Lindent adds some spaces when it shoulded. These have been fixed.
In addition, goto targets have issues, these have been fixed
in this patch.

In the refactoring of edac_mc.c into several subsystem files,
the header file edac_mc.h became meaningless. A new header file
edac_core.h was created. All the files that previously included
"edac_mc.h" are changed to include "edac_core.h".

This is a large patch to refactor the original EDAC module in the kernel
and to break it up into better file granularity, such that each source
file contains a given subsystem of the EDAC CORE.
Originally, the EDAC 'core' was contained in one source file: edac_mc.c
with it corresponding edac_mc.h file.
Now, there are the following files:
edac_module.c The main module init/exit function and other overhead
edac_mc.c Code handling the edac_mc class of object
edac_mc_sysfs.c Code handling for sysfs presentation
edac_pci_sysfs.c Code handling for PCI sysfs presentation
edac_core.h CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers
edac_module.h Internal CORE .h include file
This forms a foundation upon which a later patch can create the 'edac_device'
class of object code in a new file 'edac_device.c'.
