|

help
|
|
CXL is a bus that is electrically compatible with PCI Express, but
|
|
layers three protocols on that signalling (CXL.io, CXL.cache, and
|
|
CXL.mem). The CXL.cache protocol allows devices to hold cachelines
|
|
locally, the CXL.mem protocol allows devices to be fully coherent
|
|
memory targets, the CXL.io protocol is equivalent to PCI Express.
|
|
Say 'y' to enable support for the configuration and management of
|
|
devices supporting these protocols.

|
|
help
|
|
The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of
|
|
"System RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent
|
|
as if the memory was attached to the typical CPU memory
|
|
controller.
|
|
|
|
Say 'y/m' to enable a driver (named "cxl_mem.ko" when built as
|
|
a module) that will attach to CXL.mem devices for
|
|
configuration, provisioning, and health monitoring. This
|
|
driver is required for dynamic provisioning of CXL.mem
|
|
attached memory which is a prerequisite for persistent memory
|
|
support. Typically volatile memory is mapped by platform
|
|
firmware and included in the platform memory map, but in some
|
|
cases the OS is responsible for mapping that memory. See
|
|
Chapter 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device in the CXL 2.0 specification.
