Various ABI attributes under this have been present since v5.1, and more have been added over time. In preparation for adding a new attribute, add this file with the historical details.

These are represented by the different + 'mappingX' subdirectories. The 'start' attribute indicates the + start physical address for the given range. The 'end' attribute + indicates the end physical address for the given range. The + 'page_offset' attribute indicates the offset of the current + range in the dax device. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/resource +Date: June, 2019 +KernelVersion: v5.3 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The resource attribute indicates the starting physical + address of a dax device. In case of a device with multiple + constituent ranges, it indicates the starting address of the + first range. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/size +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (RW) The size attribute indicates the total size of a dax + device. For creating subdivided dax devices, or for resizing + an existing device, the new size can be written to this as + part of the reconfiguration process. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/numa_node +Date: November, 2019 +KernelVersion: v5.5 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) If NUMA is enabled and the platform has affinitized the + backing device for this dax device, emit the CPU node + affinity for this device. + +What: /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/target_node +Date: February, 2019 +KernelVersion: v5.1 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The target-node attribute is the Linux numa-node that a + device-dax instance may create when it is online. Prior to + being online the device's 'numa_node' property reflects the + closest online cpu node which is the typical expectation of a + device 'numa_node'. Once it is online it becomes its own + distinct numa node. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/available_size +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The available_size attribute tracks available dax region + capacity.

This + validates all ranges against the new value being attempted, post + resizing. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/seed +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The seed device is a concept for dynamic dax regions to be + able to split the region amongst multiple sub-instances. The + seed device, similar to libnvdimm seed devices, is a device + that starts with zero capacity allocated and unbound to a + driver. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/create +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (RW) The create interface to the dax region provides a way to + create a new unconfigured dax device under the given region, which + can then be configured (with a size etc.) and then probed. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/delete +Date: October, 2020 +KernelVersion: v5.10 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (WO) The delete interface for a dax region provides for deletion + of any 0-sized and idle dax devices. + +What: $(readlink -f /sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y)/../dax_region/id +Date: July, 2017 +KernelVersion: v5.1 +Contact: nvdimm@...ts.linux.dev +Description: + (RO) The id attribute indicates the region id of a dax region. -- 2.43.0
