vim +76 fs/Kconfig

    57	
    58	config FS_DAX
    59		bool "File system based Direct Access (DAX) support"
    60		depends on MMU
    61		depends on ZONE_DEVICE
    62		select FS_IOMAP
    63		select DAX
    64		help
    65		  Direct Access (DAX) can be used on memory-backed block devices.
    66		  If the block device supports DAX and the filesystem supports DAX,
    67		  then you can avoid using the pagecache to buffer I/Os.  Turning
    68		  on this option will compile in support for DAX.
    69	
    70		  For a DAX device to support file system access it needs to have
    71		  struct pages.  For the nfit based NVDIMMs this can be enabled
    72		  using the ndctl utility:
    73	
    74		# ndctl create-namespace --force --reconfig=namespace0.0 --mode=fsdax --map=mem
    75	
  > 76		  See the 'create-namespace' man page for details on the overhead of --map=mem:
    77	
    78		  https://docs.pmem.io/ndctl-user-guide/ndctl-man-pages/ndctl-create-namespace
    79	
    80		  For ndctl to work CONFIG_DEV_DAX needs to be enabled as well. For most
    81		  file systems DAX support needs to be manually enabled globally or
    82		  per-inode using a mount option as well.  See the file documentation in
    83		  Documentation/filesystems/dax.rst for details.
    84	
    85		  If you do not have a block device that is capable of using this,
    86		  or if unsure, say N.  Saying Y will increase the size of the kernel
    87		  by about 5kB.
