Re: [PATCH 8/8] device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibility
Le 31/10/2018 à 04:13, Dan Williams a écrit :
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.
Hello Dan
It looks like /sys/bus/dax/devices remains empty forever if
dax_pmem_compat has ever been loaded during this boot. Unloading
dax_pmem_compat and recreating dax devices with ndctl afterwards doesn't
make them appear (neither in /sys/class/dax obviously, nor in
/sys/bus/dax/devices surprisingly). Is this expected?
Things appear fine in /sys/bus/dax/devices after disabling the compat
module in Kconfig.
I am using your nvdimm-pending branch.
Thanks
