EFI 2.8 platforms, and others, may advertise 'specific purpose'
|
||
|
|
memory. For example, a high bandwidth memory pool. The
|
||
|
|
indication from platform firmware is meant to reserve the
|
||
|
|
memory from typical usage by default. This driver creates
|
||
|
|
device-dax instances for these memory ranges, and that also
|
||
|
|
enables the possibility to assign them to the DEV_DAX_KMEM
|
||
|
|
driver to override the reservation and add them to kernel
|
||
|
|
"System RAM" pool.

CXL RAM regions are either mapped by platform-firmware
|

|

and published in the initial system-memory map as "System RAM", mapped
|
||
|
|
by platform-firmware as "Soft Reserved", or dynamically provisioned
|

|
|
after boot by the CXL driver. In the latter two cases a device-dax
|
||
|
|
instance is created to access that unmapped-by-default address range.
|
||
|
|
Per usual it can remain as dedicated access via a device interface, or
|
||
|
|
converted to "System RAM" via the dax_kmem facility.
