| What:		/sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/nfit/ecc_unit_size
 | |
| Date:		Aug, 2017
 | |
| KernelVersion:	v4.14 (Removed v4.18)
 | |
| Contact:	linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org
 | |
| Description:
 | |
| 		(RO) Size of a write request to a DIMM that will not incur a
 | |
| 		read-modify-write cycle at the memory controller.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 		When the nfit driver initializes it runs an ARS (Address Range
 | |
| 		Scrub) operation across every pmem range. Part of that process
 | |
| 		involves determining the ARS capabilities of a given address
 | |
| 		range. One of the capabilities that is reported is the 'Clear
 | |
| 		Uncorrectable Error Range Length Unit Size' (see: ACPI 6.2
 | |
| 		section 9.20.7.4 Function Index 1 - Query ARS Capabilities).
 | |
| 		This property indicates the boundary at which the NVDIMM may
 | |
| 		need to perform read-modify-write cycles to maintain ECC (Error
 | |
| 		Correcting Code) blocks.
