The EDAC ABI were extended to add support for per-DIMM or per-rank information and silkscreen labels. Properly document them. Most of the comments there came from edac.txt descriptions of the fields that are part of the legacy csrowX ABI (e. g. /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/csrow*/*).

|
|
Description: This write-only control file will zero all the statistical
|
|
counters for UE and CE errors on the given memory controller.
|
|
Zeroing the counters will also reset the timer indicating how
|
|
long since the last counter were reset. This is useful for
|
|
computing errors/time. Since the counters are always reset
|
|
at driver initialization time, no module/kernel parameter
|
|
is available.

Description: This attribute file displays how many seconds have elapsed

panic_on_ue is set, this counter will not have a chance to

|
|
Description: This attribute file displays the total count of correctable
|
|
errors that have occurred on this memory controller. This
|
|
count is very important to examine. CEs provide early
|
|
indications that a DIMM is beginning to fail. This count
|
|
field should be monitored for non-zero values and report
|
|
such information to the system administrator.

|
|
Description: This attribute file displays the number of CEs that
|
|
have occurred on this memory controller wherewith no
|
|
information as to which DIMM slot is having errors. Memory is
|
|
handicapped, but operational, yet no information is available

to indicate which slot the failing memory is in. This count

What: /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/sdram_scrub_rate
|
|
Date: February 2007

|
Contact: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
|
|
Description: Read/Write attribute file that controls memory scrubbing.
|
|
The scrubbing rate used by the memory controller is set by
|
|
writing a minimum bandwidth in bytes/sec to the attribute file.
|
|
The rate will be translated to an internal value that gives at
|
|
least the specified rate.
|
|
Reading the file will return the actual scrubbing rate employed.
|
|
If configuration fails or memory scrubbing is not implemented,
|
|
the value of the attribute file will be -1.

Description: This attribute file will display the size of dimm or rank.
|
|
For dimm*/size, this is the size, in MB of the DIMM memory
|
|
stick. For rank*/size, this is the size, in MB for one rank
|
|
of the DIMM memory stick. On single rank memories (1R), this
|
|
is also the total size of the dimm. On dual rank (2R) memories,
|
|
this is half the size of the total DIMM memories.

Description: This control file allows this DIMM to have a label assigned
|
|
to it. With this label in the module, when errors occur
|
|
the output can provide the DIMM label in the system log.
|
|
This becomes vital for panic events to isolate the
|
|
cause of the UE event.
|
|
DIMM Labels must be assigned after booting, with information
|
|
that correctly identifies the physical slot with its
|
|
silk screen label. This information is currently very
|
|
motherboard specific and determination of this information
|
|
must occur in userland at this time.
