On platforms that define an 8 NFIT, or otherwise can discover NVDIMM resources, a libnvdimm 9 bus is registered to advertise PMEM (persistent memory) 10 namespaces (/dev/pmemX) and BLK (sliding mmio window(s)) 11 namespaces (/dev/ndblkX.Y). A PMEM namespace refers to a 12 memory resource that may span multiple DIMMs and support DAX 13 (see CONFIG_DAX). A BLK namespace refers to an NVDIMM control 14 region which exposes an mmio register set for windowed access 15 mode to non-volatile memory. 16 17if LIBNVDIMM 18 19config BLK_DEV_PMEM 20 tristate "PMEM: Persistent memory block device support" 21 default LIBNVDIMM 22 depends on HAS_IOMEM 23 select ND_BTT if BTT 24 select ND_PFN if NVDIMM_PFN 25 help 26 Memory ranges for PMEM are described by either an NFIT 27 (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table, see CONFIG_NFIT_ACPI), a 28 non-standard OEM-specific E820 memory type (type-12, see 29 CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY), or it is manually specified by the 30 'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]' kernel command line (see 31 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt). This driver converts 32 these persistent memory ranges into block devices that are 33 capable of DAX (direct-access) file system mappings.
