9 Generic support for non-volatile memory devices including
10 ACPI-6-NFIT defined resources. On platforms that define an
11 NFIT, or otherwise can discover NVDIMM resources, a libnvdimm
12 bus is registered to advertise PMEM (persistent memory)
13 namespaces (/dev/pmemX). A PMEM namespace refers to a
14 memory resource that may span multiple DIMMs and support DAX
15 (see CONFIG_DAX).

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

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

108 help
109 KMSAN, and other memory debug facilities, increase the size of
110 'struct page' to contain extra metadata. This collides with
111 the NVDIMM capability to store a potentially
112 larger-than-"System RAM" size 'struct page' array in a
113 reservation of persistent memory rather than limited /
114 precious DRAM. However, that reservation needs to persist for
115 the life of the given NVDIMM namespace. If you are using KMSAN
116 to debug an issue unrelated to NVDIMMs or DAX then say N to this
117 option. Otherwise, say Y but understand that any namespaces
118 (with the page array stored pmem) created with this build of
119 the kernel will permanently reserve and strand excess
120 capacity compared to the CONFIG_KMSAN=n case.
