|
||||
.Os
|
||||
.Sh NAME
|
||||
.Nm nvdimm
|
||||
.Nd ACPI NVDIMM driver
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
To load the driver as a module at boot, place the following line in
|
||||
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
nvdimm_load="YES"
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.Bf -symbolic
|
||||
Note:
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver is under development and has some important limitations
|
||||
described below.
|
||||
.Ef
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver provides access to Non-Volatile DIMM (NVDIMM) persistent memory
|
||||
devices, which are ACPI-enumerated under the root NVDIMM device
|
||||
with a
|
||||
.Va _HID
|
||||
of
|
||||
.Dv ACPI0012
|
||||
and in the
|
||||
.Dv NFIT
|
||||
table.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For each System Physical Address (SPA) Range described by NFIT, a
|
||||
device node
|
||||
.Pa /dev/nvdimm_spaNNN
|
||||
is created, where
|
||||
.Dv NNN
|
||||
is the SPA position in the table.
|
||||
The node can be used to
|
||||
.Xr read 2 ,
|
||||
.Xr write 2 ,
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Xr mmap 2
|
||||
the device.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Also, for each SPA, the geom provider
|
||||
.Pa spaNNN
|
||||
is created, which can be used to create a conventional filesystem (e.g.
|
||||
by
|
||||
.Xr newfs 8 )
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Xr mount 8
|
||||
it as any storage volume.
|
||||
Content accessible by
|
||||
.Pa /dev/nvdimm_spaNNN
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Pa /dev/spaNNN
|
||||
is coherent.

.Sh HISTORY
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver first appeared in
|
||||
.Fx 12.0 .
|
||||
.Sh AUTHORS
|
||||
.An -nosplit
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver was originally written by
|
||||
.An Konstantin Belousov Aq Mt kib@FreeBSD.org ,
|
||||
and then updated by
|
||||
.An D. Scott Phillips Aq Mt scottph@FreeBSD.org .
|
||||
.Sh BUGS
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver does not utilize the Block Window interface, so if the write to
|
||||
NVDIMM was interrupted due to a system crash or power outage,
|
||||
the corresponding page might be left in partially updated state.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
There is no support for Device-Specific Methods (DSM), used to report and
|
||||
control the device health and wearing.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The driver depends on the
|
||||
.Xr pmap_largemap 9
|
||||
pmap interface, which is currently only implemented on amd64.
|
||||
The interface can be only reasonable implemented on 64bit architectures.
