RECOVERY FROM MULTIPLE DATA ERRORS

摘要

Mechanisms for handling multiple data errors that occur simultaneously are provided. A processing device may determine whether multiple data errors occur in memory locations that are within a range of memory locations. If the multiple memory locations are within the range of memory locations, the processing device may continue with a recovery process. If one of the multiple memory locations is outside of the range of memory locations, the processing device may halt the recovery process.

1. A processor comprising:
an execution unit communicatively coupled to a memory; and error recovery logic coupled to the execution unit, the error recovery logic to:
detect a first error when a first memory location in the memory is accessed by the execution unit;initiate a recovery process to recover from the first error;detect a second error when a second memory location in the memory is accessed by the execution unit while the recovery process is being performed;determine whether the first memory location and the second memory location are in a range of memory locations; andcontinue the recovery process when the first memory location and the second memory location are in the range of memory locations.
