It allows memory ranges to be - allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file - system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. - Specifically this interface: - - 1. Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given - page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. - - 2. Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about - what fault scenarios are supported. - - The /sys/class/dax/ interface enumerates all the - device-dax instances in the system. The ABI is - deprecated and will be removed after 2020. It is - replaced with the DAX bus interface /sys/bus/dax/ where - device-dax instances can be found under - /sys/bus/dax/devices/ |
