Specified in the format <start>-<end>. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/mapping[0..N]/start +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/mapping[0..N]/end +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/mapping[0..N]/page_offset +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) A dax device may have multiple constituent discontiguous + address ranges. These are represented by the different + 'mappingX' subdirectories. The 'start' attribute indicates the + start physical address for the given range. The 'end' attribute + indicates the end physical address for the given range. The + 'page_offset' attribute indicates the offset of the current + range in the dax device. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/resource +Date: June, 2019 +KernelVersion: v5.3 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The resource attribute indicates the starting physical + address of a dax device. In case of a device with multiple + constituent ranges, it indicates the starting address of the + first range. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/size +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RW) The size attribute indicates the total size of a dax + device. For creating subdivided dax devices, or for resizing + an existing device, the new size can be written to this as + part of the reconfiguration process. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/numa_node +Date: November, 2019 +KernelVersion: v5.5 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) If NUMA is enabled and the platform has affinitized the + backing device for this dax device, emit the CPU node + affinity for this device. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/target_node +Date: February, 2019 +KernelVersion: v5.1 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The target-node attribute is the Linux numa-node that a + device-dax instance may create when it is online. Prior to + being online the device's 'numa_node' property reflects the + closest online cpu node which is the typical expectation of a + device 'numa_node'. Once it is online it becomes its own + distinct numa node. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/available_size +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The available_size attribute tracks available dax region + capacity. This only applies to volatile hmem devices, not pmem + devices, since pmem devices are defined by nvdimm namespace + boundaries. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/size +Date: July, 2017 +KernelVersion: v5.1 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The size attribute indicates the size of a given dax region + in bytes. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/align +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The align attribute indicates alignment of the dax region. + Changes on align may not always be valid, when say certain + mappings were created with 2M and then we switch to 1G. This + validates all ranges against the new value being attempted, post + resizing. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/seed +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The seed device is a concept for dynamic dax regions to be + able to split the region amongst multiple sub-instances. The + seed device, similar to libnvdimm seed devices, is a device + that starts with zero capacity allocated and unbound to a + driver. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/create +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RW) The create interface to the dax region provides a way to + create a new unconfigured dax device under the given region, which + can then be configured (with a size etc.) and then probed. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/delete +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (WO) The delete interface for a dax region provides for deletion + of any 0-sized and idle dax devices. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/id +Date: July, 2017 +KernelVersion: v5.1 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The id attribute indicates the region id of a dax region. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/memmap_on_memory +Date: January, 2024 +KernelVersion: v6.8 +Contact: nvdimm@lists.linux.dev +Description: + (RW) Control the memmap_on_memory setting if the dax device + were to be hotplugged as system memory. This determines whether + the 'altmap' for the hotplugged memory will be placed on the + device being hotplugged (memmap_on_memory=1) or if it will be + placed on regular memory (memmap_on_memory=0). This attribute + must be set before the device is handed over to the 'kmem' + driver (i.e. hotplugged into system-ram). Additionally, this + depends on CONFIG_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY, and a globally enabled + memmap_on_memory parameter for memory_hotplug. This is + typically set on the kernel command line - + memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory set to 'true' or 'force'." |
