Hi Simon-san,
Yes, there is a process to scan memory periodically.
At Intel Nehalem-EX and CPUs after Nehalem-EX generation, MCA recovery
is supported. MCA recovery provides error detection and isolation
features to work together with OS.
One of the MCA Recovery features is Memory Scrubbing. It periodically
checks memory in the background of OS.
If Memory Scrubbing find an uncorrectable error on a memory before
OS accesses the memory bit, MCA recovery notifies SRAO error into OS
and OS handles the SRAO error using hwpoison function.
Regards,
Mitsuhiro Tanino
