Martin hi, The UFS4.1 standard, released on January 8, 2025, added a new exception event: HEALTH_CRITICAL, which notifies the host of a device's critical health condition. This notification implies that the device is approaching the end of its lifetime based on the amount of performed program/erase cycles. Once an EOL (End-of-Life) exception event is received, we increment a designated member, which is exposed via a sysfs entry. This new entry, will report the number of times a critical health event has been reported by a UFS device. To handle this new sysfs entry, userspace applications can use select(), poll(), or epoll() to monitor changes in the critical_health attribute. The kernel will call sysfs_notify() to signal changes, allowing the userspace application to detect and respond to these changes efficiently. The host can gain further insight into the specific issue by reading one of the following attributes: bPreEOLInfo, bDeviceLifeTimeEstA, bDeviceLifeTimeEstB, bWriteBoosterBufferLifeTimeEst, and bRPMBLifeTimeEst. All those are available for reading via the driver's sysfs entries or through an applicable utility. It is up to userspace to read these attributes if needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
