On platforms that define an 9 NFIT, or otherwise can discover NVDIMM resources, a libnvdimm 10 bus is registered to advertise PMEM (persistent memory) 11 namespaces (/dev/pmemX) and BLK (sliding mmio window(s)) 12 namespaces (/dev/ndblkX.Y). A PMEM namespace refers to a 13 memory resource that may span multiple DIMMs and support DAX 14 (see CONFIG_DAX). A BLK namespace refers to an NVDIMM control 15 region which exposes an mmio register set for windowed access 16 mode to non-volatile memory. 17 18if LIBNVDIMM 19 20config BLK_DEV_PMEM 21 tristate "PMEM: Persistent memory block device support" 22 default LIBNVDIMM 23 select DAX 24 select ND_BTT if BTT 25 select ND_PFN if NVDIMM_PFN 26 help 27 Memory ranges for PMEM are described by either an NFIT 28 (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table, see CONFIG_NFIT_ACPI), a 29 non-standard OEM-specific E820 memory type (type-12, see 30 CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY), or it is manually specified by the 31 'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]' kernel command line (see 32 Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst). This driver converts 33 these persistent memory ranges into block devices that are 34 capable of DAX (direct-access) file system mappings.
