This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest. Guest reads the persistent memory range information from Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver can reserve this into system memory map. This way 'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX capable filesystems. This also provides function to perform guest flush over VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush on DAX memory range.

This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
|
|
drivers over PCI. This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
|
|
virtio backends. Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
|
|
(like KVM or Xen).

Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
|
|
|
|
This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
|
|
both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
|
|
If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
|
|
with no legacy compatibility.
|
|
|
|
So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
|
|
so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
|
|
break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
|
|
life will be like in The Future.
