+NAME
+----
+ndctl-dirty-dimm - set dimm to record the next dirty shutdown event
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'ndctl dirty-dimm <nmem0> [<nmem1>..<nmemN>]'
+
+Some NVDIMMs have the capability to detect 'flush failed' events whereby
+data that is pending in buffers at the time of system power loss fail to
+be flushed out to media. Some DIMMs go further to count how many times
+such fatal events occur, but only roll the count in response to a latch
+being set. The 'dirty-dimm' command sets this latch on those devices and
+is meant to be called in advance to any writes to media.

Some DIMMs provide a facility to track dirty-shutdown events. The counter only rolls forward after the OS sets a latch. This allows the agent tracking dirty shutdowns to ignore events that occur while the capacity has not been written. For these DIMMs dirty-dimm will trigger the counter to roll to the next state. The shutdown state can be retrieved with 'ndctl list -DH' Cc: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Cc: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> --- Changes since v2: * report whether ndctl_cmd_submit() suceeded (vishal) Documentation/ndctl/Makefile.am | 1 + Documentation/ndctl/ndctl-dirty-dimm.txt | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ builtin.h | 1 + ndctl/dimm.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ndctl/ndctl.c | 1 + 5 files changed, 64 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ndctl/ndctl-dirty-dimm.txt
