* | libnvdimm, dax: autodetect support | Dan Williams | 2016-05-21 |
| | | | | | | | | | For autodetecting a previously established dax configuration we need the info block to indicate block-device vs device-dax mode, and we need to have the default namespace probe hand-off the configuration to the dax_pmem driver.

* | libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure | Dan Williams | 2016-05-09 |
Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. This initial infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other than the pmem driver.
