mm: remove callers of pfn_t functionality

2025-07-10T05:42:19+00:00

All PFN_* pfn_t flags have been removed. Therefore there is no longer a need for the pfn_t type and all uses can be replaced with normal pfns.

dax/kmem: allow kmem to add memory with memmap_on_memory

2023-12-11T00:51:35+00:00

Large amounts of memory managed by the kmem driver may come in via CXL, and it is often desirable to have the memmap for this memory on the new memory itself. Enroll kmem-managed memory for memmap_on_memory semantics if the dax region originates via CXL. For non-CXL dax regions, retain the existing default behavior of hot adding without memmap_on_memory semantics.

dax: Cleanup extra dax_region references

2023-06-23T07:03:50+00:00

Now that free_dev_dax_id() internally manages the references it needs the extra references taken by the dax_region drivers are not needed.

dax: Kill DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT

2021-11-25T03:21:35+00:00

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4 years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if anyone screams. Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that /sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM". The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version: - ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+ - fio: v3.13+ - pmdk: v1.5.2+ As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibility

2019-01-07T05:41:57+00:00

On the expectation that some environments may not upgrade libdaxctl (userspace component that depends on the /sys/class/dax hierarchy), provide a default / legacy dax_pmem_compat driver. The dax_pmem_compat driver implements the original /sys/class/dax sysfs layout rather than /sys/bus/dax. When userspace is upgraded it can blacklist this module and switch to the dax_pmem driver going forward. CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT and supporting code will be deleted according to the dax_pmem entry in Documentation/ABI/obsolete/. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

device-dax: Move resource pinning+mapping into the common driver

2019-01-07T05:26:21+00:00

Move the responsibility of calling devm_request_resource() and devm_memremap_pages() into the common device-dax driver. This is another preparatory step to allowing an alternate personality driver for a device-dax range. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

device-dax: Start defining a dax bus model

2019-01-07T05:24:46+00:00

Towards eliminating the dax_class, move the dax-device-attribute enabling to a new bus.c file in the core. The amount of code thrash of sub-sequent patches is reduced as no logic changes are made, just pure code movement. A temporary export of unregister_dex_dax() and dax_attribute_groups is needed to preserve compilation, but those symbols become static again in a follow-on patch. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

device-dax: Remove multi-resource infrastructure
