SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +.. include:: <isonum.txt> + +=================================== +Compute Express Link Memory Devices +=================================== + +A Compute Express Link Memory Device is a CXL component that implements the +CXL.mem protocol. It contains some amount of volatile memory, persistent memory, +or both. It is enumerated as a PCI device for configuration and passing +messages over an MMIO mailbox. Its contribution to the System Physical +Address space is handled via HDM (Host Managed Device Memory) decoders +that optionally define a device's contribution to an interleaved address +range across multiple devices underneath a host-bridge or interleaved +across host-bridges. |
