From bd23024b9774e681cbe6cc3afcb24244dfcb2390 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomas Mudrunka Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2023 11:34:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm/memtest: add results of early memtest to /proc/meminfo Currently the memtest results were only presented in dmesg. When running a large fleet of devices without ECC RAM it's currently not easy to do bulk monitoring for memory corruption. You have to parse dmesg, but that's a ring buffer so the error might disappear after some time. In general I do not consider dmesg to be a great API to query RAM status. In several companies I've seen such errors remain undetected and cause issues for way too long. So I think it makes sense to provide a monitoring API, so that we can safely detect and act upon them. This adds /proc/meminfo entry which can be easily used by scripts.
