7 Generic support for non-volatile memory devices including
8 ACPI-6-NFIT defined resources. 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))
Vishal Verma5212e112015-06-25 04:20:32 -040012 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.

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
Mauro Carvalho Chehab8c27ceff32016-10-18 10:12:27 -020032 Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst). This driver converts
Dan Williams18da2c92015-06-09 14:13:37 -040033 these persistent memory ranges into block devices that are
34 capable of DAX (direct-access) file system mappings. See
35 Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt for more details.

63 The Block Translation Table (BTT) provides atomic sector
64 update semantics for persistent memory devices, so that
65 applications that rely on sector writes not being torn (a
66 guarantee that typical disks provide) can continue to do so.
67 The BTT manifests itself as an alternate personality for an
68 NVDIMM namespace, i.e. a namespace can be in raw mode (pmemX,
69 ndblkX.Y, etc...), or 'sectored' mode, (pmemXs, ndblkX.Ys,
70 etc...).

84 management sub-system. By default persistent memory does
85 not support direct I/O, RDMA, or any other usage that
86 requires a 'struct page' to mediate an I/O request. This
87 driver allocates and initializes the infrastructure needed
