From cd03412a51ac4cb3001a8cdfae4560c9602f3387 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:15:36 -0800 Subject: libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. This initial infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other than the pmem driver.
