Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] docs: add ABI documentation for /sys/kernel/hwerr_recovery_stats/
Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2026 06:27:40 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260202-vmcoreinfo_sysfs-v2-2-8f3b5308b894@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260202-vmcoreinfo_sysfs-v2-0-8f3b5308b894@debian.org>

Document the new hwerr_recovery_stats sysfs directory that exposes
hardware error recovery statistics.

Update hw-recoverable-errors.rst to reference the new sysfs interface
for runtime monitoring.
