I believe this is a Skylake and there is a known bug in the Skylake

Fixing the bug needs more knowledge than what is available in manuals.
Hopefully Intel can take a look.

Oh I missed the original mail for some reason. Yes it should be cmask instead of thresh
for client. I think thresh is used on the server uncore only, not on the client.

Jin Yao, can you send a patch please?

Yes, the DRAM_Parallel_Reads works on server but it's failed on client.

I will post a patch to fix that.

Thanks
