[PATCH v9 8/8] ABI: sysfs-bus-pci: add documentation for p2pmem allocate

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

 



Add documentation for the p2pmem/allocate binary file which allows
for allocating p2pmem buffers in userspace for passing to drivers
that support them. (Currently only O_DIRECT to NVMe devices.)
