What: /sys/bus/edac/devices//mem_repairX Date: March 2025 KernelVersion: 6.15 Contact: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org Description: The sysfs EDAC bus devices //mem_repairX subdirectory pertains to the memory media repair features control, such as PPR (Post Package Repair), memory sparing etc, where directory corresponds to a device registered with the EDAC device driver for the memory repair features. Post Package Repair is a maintenance operation requests the memory device to perform a repair operation on its media. It is a memory self-healing feature that fixes a failing memory location by replacing it with a spare row in a DRAM device. For example, a CXL memory device with DRAM components that support PPR features may implement PPR maintenance operations. DRAM components may support two types of PPR functions: hard PPR, for a permanent row repair, and soft PPR, for a temporary row repair. Soft PPR may be much faster than hard PPR, but the repair is lost with a power cycle. The sysfs attributes nodes for a repair feature are only present if the parent driver has implemented the corresponding attr callback function and provided the necessary operations to the EDAC device driver during registration. In some states of system configuration (e.g. before address decoders have been configured), memory devices (e.g. CXL) may not have an active mapping in the main host address physical address map. As such, the memory to repair must be identified by a device specific physical addressing scheme using a device physical address(DPA). The DPA and other control attributes to use will be presented in related error records.

Persist repair modes supported in the device, based on a memory repair function, either is temporary, which is lost with a power cycle or permanent. Valid values are: - 0 - Soft memory repair (temporary repair). - 1 - Hard memory repair (permanent repair). - All other values are reserved. What: /sys/bus/edac/devices//mem_repairX/repair_safe_when_in_use Date: March 2025 KernelVersion: 6.15 Contact: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org Description: (RO) True if memory media is accessible and data is retained during the memory repair operation. The data may not be retained and memory requests may not be correctly processed during a repair operation. In such case repair operation can not be executed at runtime. The memory must be taken offline. What: /sys/bus/edac/devices//mem_repairX/hpa Date: March 2025 KernelVersion: 6.15 Contact: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org Description: (RW) Host Physical Address (HPA) of the memory to repair. The HPA to use will be provided in related error records. What: /sys/bus/edac/devices//mem_repairX/dpa Date: March 2025 KernelVersion: 6.15 Contact: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org Description: (RW) Device Physical Address (DPA) of the memory to repair. The specific DPA to use will be provided in related error records. In some states of system configuration (e.g. before address decoders have been configured), memory devices (e.g. CXL) may not have an active mapping in the main host address physical address map. As such, the memory to repair must be identified by a device specific physical addressing scheme using a DPA. The device physical address(DPA) to use will be presented in related error records. What: /sys/bus/edac/devices//mem_repairX/nibble_mask Date: March 2025 KernelVersion: 6.15 Contact: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org Description: (RW) Read/Write Nibble mask of the memory to repair. Nibble mask identifies one or more nibbles in error on the memory bus that produced the error event. Nibble Mask bit 0 shall be set if nibble 0 on the memory bus produced the event, etc. For example, CXL PPR and sparing, a nibble mask bit set to 1 indicates the request to perform repair operation in the specific device. All nibble mask bits set to 1 indicates the request to perform the operation in all devices. Eg. for CXL memory repair, the specific value of nibble mask to use will be provided in related error records. For more details, See nibble mask field in CXL spec ver 3.1, section 8.2.9.7.1.2 Table 8-103 soft PPR and section 8.2.9.7.1.3 Table 8-104 hard PPR, section 8.2.9.7.1.4 Table 8-105 memory sparing.

The memory device may give the supported range of attributes to use and it will depend on the memory device and the portion of memory to repair. The userspace may receive the specific value of attributes to use for a repair operation from the memory device via related error records and trace events, for eg. CXL DRAM and CXL general media error records in CXL memory devices.

The specific value of attributes to use depends on the portion of memory to repair and will be reported to the host in related error records and be available to userspace in trace events, such as CXL DRAM and CXL general media error records of CXL memory devices. When readng back these attributes, it returns the current value of memory requested to be repaired. bank_group - The bank group of the memory to repair. bank - The bank number of the memory to repair. rank - The rank of the memory to repair. Rank is defined as a set of memory devices on a channel that together execute a transaction. row - The row number of the memory to repair. column - The column number of the memory to repair. channel - The channel of the memory to repair. Channel is defined as an interface that can be independently accessed for a transaction. sub_channel - The subchannel of the memory to repair. The requirement to set these attributes varies based on the repair function. The attributes in sysfs are not present unless required for a repair function. For example, CXL spec ver 3.1, Section 8.2.9.7.1.2 Table 8-103 soft PPR and Section 8.2.9.7.1.3 Table 8-104 hard PPR operations, these attributes are not required to set. CXL spec ver 3.1, Section 8.2.9.7.1.4 Table 8-105 memory sparing, these attributes are required to set based on memory sparing granularity.
