[PATCH v11 9/9] 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.)

+Description:
+		This file allows mapping p2pmem into userspace. For each
+		mmap() call on this file, the kernel will allocate a chunk
+		of Peer-to-Peer memory for use in Peer-to-Peer transactions.
+		This memory can be used in O_DIRECT calls to NVMe backed
+		files for Peer-to-Peer copies.
