Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Introduce a device-dax bus-based device-model
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 20:12:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <154095556915.3271337.12581429676272726902.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com> (raw)
Prompted by the review of "[PATCH 0/9] Allow persistent memory to be
used like normal RAM" [1] introduce a new bus / device-driver-model
for device-dax.
Currently device-dax instances result from attaching an nvdimm namespace
device to the dax_pmem driver. These instances are registered with the
/sys/class/dax sub-system. With the expectation that platforms will
describe performance differentiated memory [2] for ranges other than
persistent memory (pmem) a new device-model is needed.
Arrange for dax_pmem to be one of potentially several drivers that know
how to discover differentiated memory and register a device instance on
the dax bus. The expectation is that, by default, this device is
consumed by the typical device-dax driver that will expose the range
through a /dev/daxX.Y character device. Optionally other drivers can
consume the dax device instance. For example, the kmem driver [1] can
attach to device-dax device instance to hot-add the related memory range
to the core page-allocator.
Going forward, provider drivers outside of dax_pmem can be created to
register other memories with unique performance properties.
Since /sys/class/dax is a released ABI, a compat driver is provided so
that distros can opt-in to the new bus based ABI. The /sys/class/dax
interface is then deprecated and scheduled to be removed.
