[RFC v2 1/2] virtio: add pmem driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM 
guest. 

Guest reads the persistent memory range 
information from Qemu over VIRTIO and registers 
it on nvdimm_bus. It also creates a nd_region 
object with the persistent memory range 
information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' 
driver can reserve this into system memory map. 
This way 'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing 
functionality of pmem driver to register persistent 
memory compatible for DAX capable filesystems.

This also provides function to perform guest flush 
over VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace 
performs flush on DAX memory range.
