[PATCH 2/9] dax: kernel memory driver for mm ownership of DAX

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Oct 22 2018 - 16:19:20 EST



Add the actual driver to which will own the DAX range. This
allows very nice party with the other possible "owners" of
a DAX region: device DAX and filesystem DAX. It also greatly
simplifies the process of handing off control of the memory
between the different owners since it's just a matter of
unbinding and rebinding the device to different drivers.

I tried to do this all internally to the kernel and the
locking and "self-destruction" of the old device context was
a nightmare. Having userspace drive it is a wonderful
simplification.
