bdev_direct_access9
Get the address for directly-accessibly memory
Usage
long bdev_direct_access(struct block_device * bdev, struct blk_dax_ctl * dax);
Arguments
bdev
The device containing the memory
dax
control and output parameters for ->direct_access
Overview
If a block device is made up of directly addressable memory, this function will tell the caller the PFN and the address of the memory. The address may be directly dereferenced within the kernel without the need to call ioremap, kmap or similar. The PFN is suitable for inserting into page tables.
Return
negative errno if an error occurs, otherwise the number of bytes accessible at this address.
