Subject: RE: [RFC PATCH v7 00/12] memory: scrub: introduce subsystem +
 CXL/ACPI-RAS2 drivers

[AMD Official Use Only - General]

BTW, what is the encoding (units) of the 8-bit "scrub rate"?
(the ACPI spec does not seem to define that detail)

Thanks,
Leo.

Odd ACPI naming.  RASF (which is very limited) was replaced by RAS2.

Both are ACPI tables that describe the Platform Communication Channels
(mailbox) + provide a definition of the protocol that is sent over it in order to control memory scrub.  RAS2 has some other uses this driver isn't touching on.

So in short, it's an ACPI spec defined interface for controlling Memory Scrub engines.
