When the nfit driver initializes it runs an ARS (Address Range Scrub) operation across every pmem range. Part of that process involves determining the ARS capabilities of a given address range. One of the capabilities that is reported is the 'Clear Uncorrectable Error Range Length Unit Size' (see: ACPI 6.2 section 9.20.7.4 Function Index 1 - Query ARS Capabilities). This property is of interest to userspace software as it indicates the boundary at which the NVDIMM may need to perform read-modify-write cycles to maintain ECC blocks.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
