Linux kernel source tree
43bc0aa19a
There are use cases, for example virtual machine hosts, that create "persistent" memory regions using memmap= option on x86 or dummy pmem-region device tree nodes on DT based systems. Both these options are inflexible because they create static regions and the layout of the "persistent" memory cannot be adjusted without reboot and sometimes they even require firmware update. Add a ramdax driver that allows creation of DIMM devices on top of E820_TYPE_PRAM regions and devicetree pmem-region nodes. The DIMMs support label space management on the "device" and provide a flexible way to access RAM using fsdax and devdax.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
