CONFIG_OCXL: OpenCAPI coherent accelerator support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_OCXL:

• prompt: OpenCAPI coherent accelerator support
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_POWERNV
• defined in drivers/misc/ocxl/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.16–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD
• modules built: ocxl, ocxl_hw

Help text

Select this option to enable the ocxl driver for Open Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (OpenCAPI) devices.

OpenCAPI allows FPGA and ASIC accelerators to be coherently attached to a CPU over an OpenCAPI link.

The ocxl driver enables userspace programs to access these accelerators through devices in /dev/ocxl/.

For more information, see https://opencapi.org.

This is not to be confused with the support for IBM CAPI accelerators (CXL), which are PCI-based instead of a dedicated OpenCAPI link, and don't follow the same protocol.

If unsure, say N.
