menuconfig LIBNVDIMM
tristate "NVDIMM (Non-Volatile Memory Device) Support"
depends on PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT
depends on BLK_DEV
help
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.

help
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.

help
Support NVDIMMs, or other devices, that implement a BLK-mode
access capability. BLK-mode access uses memory-mapped-i/o
apertures to access persistent media.
Say Y if your platform firmware emits an ACPI.NFIT table
(CONFIG_ACPI_NFIT), or otherwise exposes BLK-mode
capabilities.

bool "BTT: Block Translation Table (atomic sector updates)"
default y if LIBNVDIMM
select ND_CLAIM
help
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...).

select ND_CLAIM
help
Map persistent memory, i.e. advertise it to the memory
management sub-system. By default persistent memory does
not support direct I/O, RDMA, or any other usage that
requires a 'struct page' to mediate an I/O request. This
driver allocates and initializes the infrastructure needed
to support those use cases.
