Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Do you have the full log containing the full smbios data dump?

Comment 4 Eduardo Habkost 2015-01-06 18:17:49 UTC
I think I found the bug. It was not reproducible with a 7GB VM, but it is reproducible with a 256GB VM (or any VM where the RAM size is a multiple of 16GB).

The fix should be simple:
-#define GET_DIMM_SZ ((i < dimm_cnt - 1) ? MAX_DIMM_SZ : ram_size % MAX_DIMM_SZ)
+#define GET_DIMM_SZ ((i < dimm_cnt - 1) ? MAX_DIMM_SZ : ((ram_size - 1) % MAX_DIMM_SZ) + 1)

I am submitting a scratch build for it.

Scratch build: http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=8461064

Tested with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-19.el7:

1.  -m 16384
    -M pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0 --> mem size can be recognized

[root@dhcp-66-106-173 ~]# dmidecode -t 17
# dmidecode 2.12
SMBIOS 2.8 present.

Handle 0x1100, DMI type 17, 40 bytes
Memory Device
	Array Handle: 0x1000
	Error Information Handle: Not Provided
	Total Width: Unknown
	Data Width: Unknown
	Size: 16384 MB
	Form Factor: DIMM
	Set: None
	Locator: DIMM 0
	Bank Locator: Not Specified
	Type: RAM
	Type Detail: Other
	Speed: Unknown
	Manufacturer: Red Hat
	Serial Number: Not Specified
	Asset Tag: Not Specified
	Part Number: Not Specified
	Rank: Unknown
	Configured Clock Speed: Unknown
	Minimum Voltage:  Unknown
	Maximum Voltage:  Unknown
	Configured Voltage:  Unknown

Mem size can be recognized correctly.
But there are still some 'Unknown' parts.

2. I think the expected result is just like the following:

-m 16384
-M pc-i440fx-rhel7.0.0

[root@dhcp-66-106-173 ~]# dmidecode -t 17
# dmidecode 2.12
SMBIOS 2.4 present.

Handle 0x1100, DMI type 17, 21 bytes

	Array Handle: 0x1000
	Error Information Handle: 0x0000
	Total Width: 64 bits
	Data Width: 64 bits
	Size: 16384 MB
	Form Factor: DIMM
	Set: None
	Locator: DIMM 0
