Currently "ndctl monitor" fails for NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV due to "no smart support".
NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV doesn't use ND_CMD_SMART to get the health info. Instead, it uses ND_CMD_CALL, so the checking here can't apply,and it doesn't support threshold alarms -- actually it only supports one event: ND_EVENT_HEALTH_STATE. See http://www.uefi.org/RFIC_LIST ("Virtual NVDIMM 0x1901"). Let's skip the unnecessary checking for NVDIMM_FAMILY_HYPERV, and make sure we only monitor the "dimm-health-state" event and ignore the others. With the patch, when an error happens, we log it with such a message: {"timestamp":"1550547497.431731497","pid":1571,"event": {"dimm-health-state":true},"dimm":{"dev":"nmem1", "id":"04d5-01-1701-01000000","handle":1,"phys_id":0, "health":{"health_state":"fatal","shutdown_count":8}}} Here the meaningful info is: "health":{"health_state":"fatal","shutdown_count":8} Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui <de...@microsoft.com> --- ndctl/monitor.c | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/ndctl/monitor.c b/ndctl/monitor.c index 43b2abe..43beb06 100644 --- a/ndctl/monitor.c +++ b/ndctl/monitor.c @@ -265,31 +265,59 @@ static bool filter_region(struct ndctl_region *region, return true; } -static void filter_dimm(struct ndctl_dimm *dimm, struct util_filter_ctx *fctx) +static bool ndctl_dimm_test_and_enable_notification(struct ndctl_dimm *dimm) { - struct monitor_dimm *mdimm; - struct monitor_filter_arg *mfa = fctx->monitor; const char *name = ndctl_dimm_get_devname(dimm); + /* + * Hyper-V Virtual NVDIMM doesn't use ND_CMD_SMART to get the health + * info.
