Platform firmware or a device driver may identify a platform memory resource that is differentiated from the baseline memory pool. Mappings of a /dev/daxX.Y device impose restrictions that make the mapping behavior deterministic. config DEV_DAX_PMEM tristate "PMEM DAX: direct access to persistent memory" depends on LIBNVDIMM && NVDIMM_DAX && DEV_DAX default DEV_DAX help Support raw access to persistent memory. Note that this driver consumes memory ranges allocated and exported by the libnvdimm sub-system.

For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel "System RAM" pool. Say M if unsure. config DEV_DAX_CXL tristate "CXL DAX: direct access to CXL RAM regions" depends on CXL_BUS && CXL_REGION && DEV_DAX default CXL_REGION && DEV_DAX help CXL RAM regions are either mapped by platform-firmware and published in the initial system-memory map as "System RAM", mapped by platform-firmware as "Soft Reserved", or dynamically provisioned after boot by the CXL driver. In the latter two cases a device-dax instance is created to access that unmapped-by-default address range. Per usual it can remain as dedicated access via a device interface, or converted to "System RAM" via the dax_kmem facility. config DEV_DAX_HMEM_DEVICES depends on DEV_DAX_HMEM && DAX def_bool y config DEV_DAX_KMEM tristate "KMEM DAX: map dax-devices as System-RAM" default DEV_DAX depends on DEV_DAX depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG # for add_memory() and friends help Support access to persistent, or other performance differentiated memory as if it were System RAM. This allows easier use of persistent memory by unmodified applications, or adds core kernel memory services to heterogeneous memory types (HMEM) marked "reserved" by platform firmware. To use this feature, a DAX device must be unbound from the device_dax driver and bound to this kmem driver on each boot. Say N if unsure. endif
