Augmenting EDAC for controlling RAS features
============================================
The proposed expansion of EDAC for controlling RAS features and
exposing features control attributes to userspace in sysfs.
Some Examples:
- Scrub control
- Error Check Scrub (ECS) control
- ACPI RAS2 features
- Post Package Repair (PPR) control
- Memory Sparing Repair control etc.
High level design is illustrated in the following diagram.

1. EDAC RAS Features components - Create feature specific descriptors.
for example, EDAC scrub, EDAC ECS, EDAC memory repair in the above
diagram.
2. EDAC device driver for controlling RAS Features - Get feature's attr
descriptors from EDAC RAS feature component and registers device's
RAS features with EDAC bus and expose the feature's sysfs attributes
under the sysfs EDAC bus.
3. RAS dynamic scrub controller - Userspace sample module added for scrub
control in rasdaemon to issue scrubbing when excess number of memory
errors are reported in a short span of time.
The added EDAC feature specific components (e.g. EDAC scrub, EDAC ECS,
EDAC memory repair etc) do callbacks to the parent driver (e.g. CXL
driver, ACPI RAS driver etc) for the controls rather than just letting the
caller deal with it because of the following reasons.
1. Enforces a common API across multiple implementations can do that
via review, but that's not generally gone well in the long run for
subsystems that have done it (several have later moved to callback
and feature list based approaches).
2. Gives a path for 'intercepting' in the EDAC feature driver.
An example for this is that we could intercept PPR repair calls
and sanity check that the memory in question is offline before
passing back to the underlying code. Sure we could rely on doing
that via some additional calls from the parent driver, but the
ABI will get messier.
3. (Speculative) we may get in kernel users of some features in the
long run.
More details of the common RAS features are described in the following
sections.
Memory Scrubbing
================
Increasing DRAM size and cost has made memory subsystem reliability
an important concern. These modules are used where potentially
corrupted data could cause expensive or fatal issues. Memory errors are
one of the top hardware failures that cause server and workload crashes.
Memory scrub is a feature where an ECC engine reads data from
each memory media location, corrects with an ECC if necessary and
writes the corrected data back to the same memory media location.
The memory DIMMs could be scrubbed at a configurable rate to detect
uncorrected memory errors and attempts to recover from detected memory
errors providing the following benefits.
- Proactively scrubbing memory DIMMs reduces the chance of a correctable
error becoming uncorrectable.
- Once detected, uncorrected errors caught in unallocated memory pages are
isolated and prevented from being allocated to an application or the OS.
- The probability of software/hardware products encountering memory
errors is reduced.
Some details of background can be found in Reference [5].
There are 2 types of memory scrubbing,
1. Background (patrol) scrubbing of the RAM whilst the RAM is otherwise
idle.
2. On-demand scrubbing for a specific address range/region of memory.
There are several types of interfaces to HW memory scrubbers
identified such as ACPI NVDIMM ARS(Address Range Scrub), CXL memory
device patrol scrub, CXL DDR5 ECS, ACPI RAS2 memory scrubbing.
The scrub control varies between different memory scrubbers. To allow
for standard userspace tooling there is a need to present these controls
with a standard ABI.
Introduce generic memory EDAC scrub control which allows user to control
underlying scrubbers in the system via generic sysfs scrub control
interface. The common sysfs scrub control interface abstracts the control
of an arbitrary scrubbing functionality to a common set of functions.
Use case of common scrub control feature
========================================
1. There are several types of interfaces to HW memory scrubbers identified
such as ACPI NVDIMM ARS(Address Range Scrub), CXL memory device patrol
scrub, CXL DDR5 ECS, ACPI RAS2 memory scrubbing features and software
based memory scrubber(discussed in the community Reference [5]).
Also some scrubbers support controlling (background) patrol scrubbing
(ACPI RAS2, CXL) and/or on-demand scrubbing(ACPI RAS2, ACPI ARS).
However the scrub controls varies between memory scrubbers. Thus there
is a requirement for a standard generic sysfs scrub controls exposed
to userspace for the seamless control of the HW/SW scrubbers in
the system by admin/scripts/tools etc.
2. Scrub controls in user space allow the user to disable the scrubbing
in case disabling of the background patrol scrubbing or changing the
scrub rate are needed for other purposes such as performance-aware
operations which requires the background operations to be turned off
or reduced.
3. Allows to perform on-demand scrubbing for specific address range if
supported by the scrubber.
4. User space tools controls scrub the memory DIMMs regularly at a
configurable scrub rate using the sysfs scrub controls discussed help,
- to detect uncorrectable memory errors early before user accessing memory,
which helps to recover the detected memory errors.
- reduces the chance of a correctable error becoming uncorrectable.
5. Policy control for hotplugged memory. There is not necessarily a system
wide bios or similar in the loop to control the scrub settings on a CXL
device that wasn't there at boot. What that setting should be is a policy
decision as we are trading of reliability vs performance - hence it should
be in control of userspace. As such, 'an' interface is needed. Seems more
sensible to try and unify it with other similar interfaces than spin
yet another one.
The draft version of userspace code added in rasdaemon for dynamic scrub
control, based on frequency of memory errors reported to userspace, tested
for CXL device based patrol scrubbing feature and ACPI RAS2 based
scrubbing feature.
https://github.com/shijujose4/rasdaemon/tree/ras_feature_control
ToDO: For memory repair features, such as PPR, memory sparing, rasdaemon
collates records and decides to replace a row if there are lots of
corrected errors, or a single uncorrected error or error record received
with maintenance request flag set as in some CXL event records.

CXL Memory Scrubbing features
=============================
CXL spec r3.1 section 8.2.9.9.11.1 describes the memory device patrol scrub
control feature. The device patrol scrub proactively locates and makes
corrections to errors in regular cycle. The patrol scrub control allows the
request to configure patrol scrubber's input configurations.
The patrol scrub control allows the requester to specify the number of
hours in which the patrol scrub cycles must be completed, provided that
the requested number is not less than the minimum number of hours for the
patrol scrub cycle that the device is capable of. In addition, the patrol
scrub controls allow the host to disable and enable the feature in case
disabling of the feature is needed for other purposes such as
performance-aware operations which require the background operations to be
turned off.
The Error Check Scrub (ECS) is a feature defined in JEDEC DDR5 SDRAM
Specification (JESD79-5) and allows the DRAM to internally read, correct
single-bit errors, and write back corrected data bits to the DRAM array
while providing transparency to error counts.
The DDR5 device contains number of memory media FRUs per device. The
DDR5 ECS feature and thus the ECS control driver supports configuring
the ECS parameters per FRU.
ACPI RAS2 Hardware-based Memory Scrubbing
=========================================
ACPI spec 6.5 section 5.2.21 ACPI RAS2 describes ACPI RAS2 table
provides interfaces for platform RAS features and supports independent
RAS controls and capabilities for a given RAS feature for multiple
instances of the same component in a given system.
Memory RAS features apply to RAS capabilities, controls and operations
that are specific to memory. RAS2 PCC sub-spaces for memory-specific RAS
features have a Feature Type of 0x00 (Memory).
The platform can use the hardware-based memory scrubbing feature to expose
controls and capabilities associated with hardware-based memory scrub
engines. The RAS2 memory scrubbing feature supports following as per spec,
- Independent memory scrubbing controls for each NUMA domain, identified
using its proximity domain.
Note: However AmpereComputing has single entry repeated as they have
centralized controls.
- Provision for background (patrol) scrubbing of the entire memory system,
as well as on-demand scrubbing for a specific region of memory.
ACPI Address Range Scrubbing(ARS)
================================
ARS allows the platform to communicate memory errors to system software.
This capability allows system software to prevent accesses to addresses
with uncorrectable errors in memory. ARS functions manage all NVDIMMs
present in the system. Only one scrub can be in progress system wide
at any given time.
Following functions are supported as per the specification.
1. Query ARS Capabilities for a given address range, indicates platform
supports the ACPI NVDIMM Root Device Unconsumed Error Notification.
2. Start ARS triggers an Address Range Scrub for the given memory range.
Address scrubbing can be done for volatile memory, persistent memory,
or both.
3. Query ARS Status command allows software to get the status of ARS,
including the progress of ARS and ARS error record.
4. Clear Uncorrectable Error.
5. Translate SPA
6. ARS Error Inject etc.
Note: Support for ARS is not added in this series because to reduce the
line of code for review and could be added after initial code is merged.
We'd like feedback on whether this is of interest to ARS community?
Post Package Repair(PPR)
========================
PPR (Post Package Repair) maintenance operation requests the memory device
to perform a repair operation on its media if supported. A memory device
may support two types of PPR: Hard PPR (hPPR), for a permanent row repair,
and Soft PPR (sPPR), for a temporary row repair. sPPR is much faster than
hPPR, but the repair is lost with a power cycle. During the execution of a
PPR maintenance operation, a memory device, may or may not retain data and
may or may not be able to process memory requests correctly. sPPR maintenance
operation may be executed at runtime, if data is retained and memory requests
are correctly processed. hPPR maintenance operation may be executed only at
boot because data would not be retained.
Use cases of common PPR control feature
=======================================
1. The Soft PPR (sPPR) and Hard PPR (hPPR) share similar control interfaces,
thus there is a requirement for a standard generic sysfs PPR controls exposed
to userspace for the seamless control of the PPR features in the system by the
admin/scripts/tools etc.
2. When a CXL device identifies a failure on a memory component, the device
may inform the host about the need for a PPR maintenance operation by using
an event record, where the maintenance needed flag is set. The event record
specifies the DPA that should be repaired. Kernel reports the corresponding
cxl general media or DRAM trace event to userspace. The userspace tool,
for reg. rasdaemon initiate a PPR maintenance operation in response to a
device request using the sysfs PPR control.
3. User space tools, for eg. rasdaemon, do request PPR on a memory region
when uncorrected memory error or excess corrected memory errors reported
on that memory.
4. Likely multiple instances of PPR present per memory device.
Memory Sparing
==============
Memory sparing is defined as a repair function that replaces a portion of
memory with a portion of functional memory at that same DPA. User space
tool, e.g. rasdaemon, may request the sparing operation for a given
address for which the uncorrectable error is reported. In CXL,
(CXL spec 3.1 section 8.2.9.7.1.4) subclasses for sparing operation vary
in terms of the scope of the sparing being performed. The cacheline sparing
subclass refers to a sparing action that can replace a full cacheline.
Row sparing is provided as an alternative to PPR sparing functions and its
scope is that of a single DDR row. Bank sparing allows an entire bank to
be replaced. Rank sparing is defined as an operation in which an entire
DDR rank is replaced.
Series adds,
1. EDAC device driver extended for controlling RAS features, EDAC scrub
driver, EDAC ECS driver, EDAC memory repair driver supports memory
scrub control, ECS control, memory repair(PPR, sparing) control
respectively.
2. Several common patches from Dave's cxl/fwctl series.
3. Support for CXL feature mailbox commands, which is used by CXL device
scrubbing and memory repair features.
4. CXL features driver supporting patrol scrub control (device and
region based).
5. CXL features driver supporting ECS control feature.
6. ACPI RAS2 driver adds OS interface for RAS2 communication through
PCC mailbox and extracts ACPI RAS2 feature table (RAS2) and
create platform device for the RAS memory features, which binds
to the memory ACPI RAS2 driver.
7. Memory ACPI RAS2 driver gets the PCC subspace for communicating
with the ACPI compliant platform supports ACPI RAS2. Add callback
functions and registers with EDAC device to support user to
control the HW patrol scrubbers exposed to the kernel via the
ACPI RAS2 table.
8. Support for CXL maintenance mailbox command, which is used by
CXL device memory repair feature.
9. CXL features driver supporting PPR control feature.
10. CXL features driver supporting memory sparing control feature.
Note: There are other PPR, memory sparing drivers to come.
Open Questions based on feedbacks from the community:
1. Leo: Standardize unit for scrub rate, for example ACPI RAS2 does not define
unit for the scrub rate. RAS2 clarification needed.
2. Jonathan:
- Any need for discoverability of capability to scan different regions,
such as global PA space to userspace. Left as future extension.
- For EDAC memory repair, control attribute for granularity(cache/row//bank/rank)
is needed?
3. Jiaqi:
- STOP_PATROL_SCRUBBER from RAS2 must be blocked and, must not be exposed to
OS/userspace. Stopping patrol scrubber is unacceptable for platform where
OEM has enabled patrol scrubber, because the patrol scrubber is a key part
of logging and is repurposed for other RAS actions.
If the OEM does not want to expose this control, they should lock it down so the
interface is not exposed to the OS. These features are optional after all.
- "Requested Address Range"/"Actual Address Range" (region to scrub) is a
similarly bad thing to expose in RAS2.
If the OEM does not want to expose this, they should lock it down so the
interface is not exposed to the OS. These features are optional after all.
As per LPC discussion, support for stop and attributes for addr range
to be exposed to the userspace.
4. Borislav:
- How the scrub control exposed to userspace will be used?
POC added in rasdaemon with dynamic scrub control for CXL memory media
errors and memory errors reported to userspace.
https://github.com/shijujose4/rasdaemon/tree/scrub_control_6_june_2024
- Is the scrub interface is sufficient for the use cases?
- Who is going to use scrub controls tools/admin/scripts?
1) Rasdaemon for dynamic control
2) Udev script for more static 'defaults' on hotplug etc.
5. PPR
- For PPR, rasdaemon collates records and decides to replace a row if there
are lots of corrected errors, or a single uncorrected error or error record
received with maintenance request flag set as in CXL DRAM error record.
- sPPR more or less startup only (so faking hPPR) or actually useful
in a running system (if not the safe version that keeps everything
running whilst replacement is ongoing)
- Is future proofing for multiple PPR units useful given we've mashed
together hPPR and sPPR for CXL.
