device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibility
On the expectation that some environments may not upgrade libdaxctl (userspace component that depends on the /sys/class/dax hierarchy), provide a default / legacy dax_pmem_compat driver. The dax_pmem_compat driver implements the original /sys/class/dax sysfs layout rather than /sys/bus/dax. When userspace is upgraded it can blacklist this module and switch to the dax_pmem driver going forward. CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT and supporting code will be deleted according to the dax_pmem entry in Documentation/ABI/obsolete/. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

What: /sys/class/dax/
|

Date: May, 2016

Description: Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem
|
||||
DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be
|
||||
allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file
|
||||
system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
|
||||
Specifically this interface:
|
||||
|
||||
1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given
|
||||
page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
|
||||
|
||||
2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about
|
||||
what fault scenarios are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
The /sys/class/dax/ interface enumerates all the
|
||||
device-dax instances in the system. The ABI is
|
||||
deprecated and will be removed after 2020. It is
|
||||
replaced with the DAX bus interface /sys/bus/dax/ where
|
||||
device-dax instances can be found under
|
||||
/sys/bus/dax/devices/
