Family drm-ras netlink specification

Summary

DRM RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) over Generic Netlink. Provides a standardized mechanism for DRM drivers to register “nodes” representing hardware/software components capable of reporting error counters. Userspace tools can query the list of nodes or individual error counters via the Generic Netlink interface.

Operations

list-nodes

Retrieve the full list of currently registered DRM RAS nodes. Each node includes its dynamically assigned ID, name, and type. Important: User space must call this operation first to obtain the node IDs. These IDs are required for all subsequent operations on nodes, such as querying error counters.

attribute-set:

node-attrs

flags:

[admin-perm]

dump:

reply

attributes:

[node-id, device-name, node-name, node-type]

get-error-counter

Retrieve error counter for a given node. The response includes the id, the name, and even the current value of each counter.

Attribute sets

node-attrs

node-id (u32)

doc:

Unique identifier for the node. Assigned dynamically by the DRM RAS core upon registration.

device-name (string)

doc:

Device name chosen by the driver at registration. Can be a PCI BDF, UUID, or module name if unique.

node-name (string)

doc:

Node name chosen by the driver at registration. Can be an IP block name, or any name that identifies the RAS node inside the device.

node-type (u32)

doc:

Type of this node, identifying its function.

enum:

node-type

error-counter-attrs

node-id (u32)

doc:

Node ID targeted by this error counter operation.

error-id (u32)

doc:

Unique identifier for a specific error counter within an node.

error-name (string)

doc:

Name of the error.

error-value (u32)

doc:

Current value of the requested error counter.
