CONFIG_CXL_MEM: CXL: Memory Expansion

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CXL_MEM has multiple definitions:

CXL: Memory Expansion found in drivers/cxl/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CXL_MEM:

• prompt: CXL: Memory Expansion
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_CXL_PCI
• defined in drivers/cxl/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.18–5.19, 6.0–6.1, 6.2-rc+HEAD
• modules built: cxl_mem, cxl_pci

Help text

The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of "System RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent as if the memory were attached to the typical CPU memory controller. This is known as HDM "Host-managed Device Memory".

Say 'y/m' to enable a driver that will attach to CXL.mem devices for memory expansion and control of HDM. See Chapter 9.13 in the CXL 2.0 specification for a detailed description of HDM.

If unsure say 'm'.

CXL.mem: Memory Devices found in drivers/cxl/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CXL_MEM:

• prompt: CXL.mem: Memory Devices
• type: tristate
• depends on: (none)
• defined in drivers/cxl/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.12–5.17, 5.17+HEAD
• modules built: cxl_mem, cxl_pci

Help text

The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of "System RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent as if the memory was attached to the typical CPU memory controller.

Say 'y/m' to enable a driver that will attach to CXL.mem devices for configuration and management primarily via the mailbox interface. See Chapter 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device in the CXL 2.0 specification for more details.

If unsure say 'm'.
