Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev
Description:
(RO) The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate
the state of the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy
source or last "flush to persistence".
The attribute is a translation of the 'NVDIMM State Flags' field
in section 5.2.25.3 'NVDIMM Region Mapping' Structure of the
ACPI specification 6.2.
The health states are "save_fail", "restore_fail", "flush_fail",
"not_armed", "smart_event", "map_fail" and "smart_notify".
What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmemX/nfit/format
What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmemX/nfit/format1
What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmemX/nfit/formats
Date: Apr, 2016
KernelVersion: v4.7
Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev
Description:
(RO) The interface codes indicate support for persistent memory
mapped directly into system physical address space and / or a
block aperture access mechanism to the NVDIMM media.
The 'formats' attribute displays the number of supported
interfaces.
This layout is compatible with existing libndctl binaries that
only expect one code per-dimm as they will ignore
nmemX/nfit/formats and nmemX/nfit/formatN.

Date: Sep, 2016
KernelVersion: v4.9
Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev
Description:
(RW) This shows the number of full Address Range Scrubs (ARS)
that have been completed since driver load time. Userspace can
wait on this using select/poll etc. A '+' at the end indicates
an ARS is in progress
Writing a value of 1 triggers an ARS scan.
What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/hw_error_scrub
Date: Sep, 2016
KernelVersion: v4.9
Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev
Description:
(RW) Provides a way to toggle the behavior between just adding
the address (cache line) where the MCE happened to the poison
list and doing a full scrub. The former (selective insertion of
the address) is done unconditionally.
This attribute can have the following values written to it:
'0': Switch to the default mode where an exception will only
insert the address of the memory error into the poison and
badblocks lists.
'1': Enable a full scrub to happen if an exception for a memory
error is received.
What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/dsm_mask
Date: Jun, 2017

Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev
Description:
(RO) The bitmask indicates the supported bus specific control
functions. See the section named 'NVDIMM Root Device _DSMs' in
the ACPI specification.
What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/firmware_activate_noidle
Date: Apr, 2020
KernelVersion: v5.8
Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev
Description:
(RW) The Intel platform implementation of firmware activate
support exposes an option let the platform force idle devices in
the system over the activation event, or trust that the OS will
do it. The safe default is to let the platform force idle
devices since the kernel is already in a suspend state, and on
the chance that a driver does not properly quiesce bus-mastering
after a suspend callback the platform will handle it. However,
the activation might abort if, for example, platform firmware
determines that the activation time exceeds the max PCI-E
completion timeout. Since the platform does not know whether the
OS is running the activation from a suspend context it aborts,
but if the system owner trusts driver suspend callback to be
sufficient then 'firmware_activation_noidle' can be
enabled to bypass the activation abort.
What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/nfit/range_index
Date: Jun, 2015
KernelVersion: v4.2
Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev
Description:
(RO) A unique number provided by the BIOS to identify an address
range. Used by NVDIMM Region Mapping Structure to uniquely refer
to this structure. Value of 0 is reserved and not used as an
index.
