The kernel already tracks recoverable hardware errors (CPU, memory, PCI, CXL, etc.) in the hwerr_data array for vmcoreinfo crash dump analysis. However, this data is only accessible after a crash. This series adds a sysfs directory at /sys/kernel/hwerr_recovery_stats/ to expose these statistics at runtime, allowing monitoring tools to track hardware health without requiring a kernel crash. The directory contains one file per error subsystem: /sys/kernel/hwerr_recovery_stats/{cpu, memory, pci, cxl, others} Each file contains a single integer representing the error count. This is useful for: - Proactive detection of failing hardware components - Time-series tracking of recoverable errors - System health monitoring in cloud environmentsIs there a chance this could be included in the 6.20 merge window?
During the 7.0 merge window? Sure. I'll be taking a look at this (and a whole lot more) after 7.0-rc1 is released.
