For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The 38 indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the 39 memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates 40 device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also 41 enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM 42 driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel 43 "System RAM" pool. 44 45 Say M if unsure. 46 47config DEV_DAX_CXL 48 tristate "CXL DAX: direct access to CXL RAM regions" 49 depends on CXL_BUS && CXL_REGION && DEV_DAX 50 default CXL_REGION && DEV_DAX 51 help 52 CXL RAM regions are either mapped by platform-firmware 53 and published in the initial system-memory map as "System RAM", mapped 54 by platform-firmware as "Soft Reserved", or dynamically provisioned 55 after boot by the CXL driver. In the latter two cases a device-dax 56 instance is created to access that unmapped-by-default address range. 57 Per usual it can remain as dedicated access via a device interface, or 58 converted to "System RAM" via the dax_kmem facility. 59 60config DEV_DAX_HMEM_DEVICES 61 depends on DEV_DAX_HMEM && DAX 62 def_bool y 63 64config DEV_DAX_KMEM 65 tristate "KMEM DAX: map dax-devices as System-RAM" 66 default DEV_DAX 67 depends on DEV_DAX 68 depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG # for add_memory() and friends 69 help 70 Support access to persistent, or other performance 71 differentiated memory as if it were System RAM.
