+Introduction
+------------
+The scrub subsystem driver provides the interface for configure the
+parameters of memory scrubbers in the system. The scrub device drivers
+in the system register with the scrub configure subsystem.
+
+The scrub configure driver exposes the scrub controls to the user
+via sysfs.
+
+The File System
+---------------
+
+The configuration parameters of the registered scrubbers could be
+accessed via the /sys/class/scrub/scrubX/regionN/
+
+sysfs
+-----
+
+Sysfs files are documented in
+`Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-scrub-configure`.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+  The usage takes the form shown in this example::
+
+    # echo 0x300000 > /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/addr_base
+    # echo 0x100000 > /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/addr_size
+    # cat /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/speed_available
+    # 1-60
+    # echo 25 > /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/speed
+    # echo 1 > /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/enable
+
+    # cat /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/speed
+    # 0x19
+    # cat /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/addr_base
+    # 0x100000
+    # cat /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/addr_size
+    # 0x200000
+
+    # echo 0 > /sys/class/scrub/scrub0/region0/enable
