Generic support for non-volatile memory devices including
|
|
ACPI-6-NFIT defined resources. On platforms that define an
|
|
NFIT, or otherwise can discover NVDIMM resources, a libnvdimm
|
|
bus is registered to advertise PMEM (persistent memory)
|
|
namespaces (/dev/pmemX) and BLK (sliding mmio window(s))
|
|
namespaces (/dev/ndblkX.Y). A PMEM namespace refers to a
|
|
memory resource that may span multiple DIMMs and support DAX
|
|
(see CONFIG_DAX). A BLK namespace refers to an NVDIMM control
|
|
region which exposes an mmio register set for windowed access
|
|
mode to non-volatile memory.

Memory ranges for PMEM are described by either an NFIT
|
|
(NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table, see CONFIG_NFIT_ACPI), a
|
|
non-standard OEM-specific E820 memory type (type-12, see
|
|
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY), or it is manually specified by the
|
|
'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]' kernel command line (see
|
|
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt). This driver converts
|
|
these persistent memory ranges into block devices that are
|
|
capable of DAX (direct-access) file system mappings. See
|
|
Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt for more details.

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