What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmemX/nfit/flags
Date: Jun, 2015
KernelVersion: v4.2
Contact: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
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: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
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.

Description:
(RO) The bitmask indicates the supported device specific control
functions relative to the NVDIMM command family supported by the
device

Date: Apr, 2016
KernelVersion: v4.7
Contact: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
Description:

0, 1, 2 and 3 correspond to NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL,
NVDIMM_FAMILY_HPE1, NVDIMM_FAMILY_HPE2 and NVDIMM_FAMILY_MSFT
respectively.
See the specifications for these command families here:

KernelVersion: v4.9
Contact: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
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

What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/ndbusX/nfit/hw_error_scrub
Date: Sep, 2016
KernelVersion: v4.9
Contact: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
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

functions. See the section named 'NVDIMM Root Device _DSMs' in
the ACPI specification.
What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/nfit/range_index

Contact: linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
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.
