Annotated Snippet
Device instance to test mapping
intel_ifs_0 -> Scan Test
intel_ifs_1 -> Array BIST test
What: /sys/devices/virtual/misc/intel_ifs_<N>/run_test

Description: Write <cpu#> to trigger IFS test for one online core.
Note that the test is per core. The cpu# can be
for any thread on the core. Running on one thread
completes the test for the core containing that thread.
Example: to test the core containing cpu5: echo 5 >
/sys/devices/virtual/misc/intel_ifs_<N>/run_test

What: /sys/devices/virtual/misc/intel_ifs_<N>/status
Date: Nov 16 2022
KernelVersion: 6.2
Contact: "Jithu Joseph" <jithu.joseph@intel.com>
Description: The status of the last test. It can be one of "pass", "fail"
or "untested".

Description: Additional information regarding the last test. The details file reports
the hex value of the STATUS MSR for this test. Note that the error_code field
may contain driver defined software code not defined in the Intel SDM.

KernelVersion: 6.2
Contact: "Jithu Joseph" <jithu.joseph@intel.com>
Description: Version (hexadecimal) of loaded IFS test image. If no test image
is loaded reports "none". Only present for device instances where a test image
is applicable.

Description: Write a number less than or equal to 0xff to load an IFS test image.
The number written treated as the 2 digit suffix in the following file name:
/lib/firmware/intel/ifs_<N>/ff-mm-ss-02x.scan
Reading the file will provide the suffix of the currently loaded IFS test image.
This file is present only for device instances where a test image is applicable.
Devices: intel_ifs_0
Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
