A daemon running in user space collects information on correctable

Which daemon we are referring here? Can you please provide the link to
the project?
Are you using this daemon?
https://mcelog.org/ - It is for x86, but is your daemon project
different?
No this daemon is not used. Daemon is under development and it is more
specific to Qualcomm use cases.
Based on my limited understanding of mcelog, this daemon is handling
errors in an architecture specific way.
By adding support for sysfs notification in EDAC framework, drivers
which are not using any custom sysfs attributes can take advantage of
this modification to notify the user space daemon polling on ue_count
and/or ce_count attributes.
This patch adds support for user space daemon to wait on poll() until
the sysfs entries for UE count and CE count change and then read updated
counts instead of continuously monitoring the sysfs entries for
any changes.
The modifications below are architecture agnostic so I really want to
know what exactly we are fixing and if there is a problem.
In the change set, adding support for user space to poll on the ue_count
and/or ce_count sysfs attributes.
On changes in ue_count,ce_count attributes, unblock user space poll from
EDAC driver framework and user space can read the changed ce_count,
ue_count.
As an example from user space perform the following steps:
1. Open the sysfs attribute file for UE count and CE count
2. Read the initial CE count and UE count
3. Poll on any changes on CE count, UE count fds.
4. Once poll unblocks, Read the updated count.
5.Take appropriate action on the changed counts.
