It allows memory ranges to be + allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file + system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. + Specifically this interface: + + 1. Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given + page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. + + 2. Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about + what fault scenarios are supported. + + The /sys/class/dax/ interface enumerates all the + device-dax instances in the system. The ABI is + deprecated and will be removed after 2020. It is + replaced with the DAX bus interface /sys/bus/dax/ where + device-dax instances can be found under + /sys/bus/dax/devices/ -- cgit v1.2.3
