From 9f53f9fa4ad1d8bddd4d14359cdabc531aedffe8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 15:33:45 -0400 Subject: libnvdimm, pmem: add libnvdimm support to the pmem driver nd_pmem attaches to persistent memory regions and namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm subsystem, and, same as the original pmem driver, presents the system-physical-address range as a block device. The existing e820-type-12 to pmem setup is converted to an nvdimm_bus that emits an nd_namespace_io device. Note that the X in 'pmemX' is now derived from the parent region. This provides some stability to the pmem devices names from boot-to-boot. The minor numbers are also more predictable by passing 0 to alloc_disk(). Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Boaz Harrosh Cc: H.
