CONFIG_VIRTIO_MEM: Virtio mem driver

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_VIRTIO_MEM:

• prompt: Virtio mem driver
• type: tristate
• depends on: ( CONFIG_X86_64 || CONFIG_ARM64 ) && ( CONFIG_VIRTIO ) && ( CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG ) && ( CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE ) && ( CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC ) && ( CONFIG_EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM )
• defined in drivers/virtio/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.8–5.17, 5.18-rc+HEAD
• modules built: virtio_mem

Help text

This driver provides access to virtio-mem paravirtualized memory devices, allowing to hotplug and hotunplug memory.

This driver was only tested under x86-64 and arm64, but should theoretically work on all architectures that support memory hotplug and hotremove.

If unsure, say M.
