Memory module error tracking

A method for error tracking comprising:

• through a memory module:
• receiving a memory read request, from a host memory controller external to the memory module, for memory data stored at a particular memory address for the memory module;
• retrieving the memory data from the particular memory address;
• detecting that the memory data includes an error and in response, without overwriting the memory data stored at the particular memory address:
• causing the particular memory address to be stored in an error address register of the memory module, wherein the memory module comprises a plurality of error address registers storing addresses of errant memory data;
• setting an error status indicator to indicate that the error is detected;
• in response to receiving an error inquiry from the external host memory controller and the error status indicator being set, sending contents of the error address registers to the external host memory controller to allow the external host memory controller to correct the errant memory data stored on the memory module by performing a read and write-back operation based on the contents of the error address registers;
• correcting, by the memory module, the errant memory data to obtain corrected memory data;
• and
• sending, by the memory module, the corrected memory data to the external host memory controller to allow the external host memory controller to correct the errant memory data using the corrected memory data sent by the memory module.
