[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/15] NVDIMM: introduce nvdimm label support

[Xiao Guangrong]

This patchset is against commit d4207b223eef3 (fw-cfg: support writeable
blobs) on pci branch of Michael's git tree and can be found at:
      https://github.com/xiaogr/qemu.git nvdimm-label-v1

This is the last part of vNVDIMM implementation which introduces nvdimm
label support

Currently Linux NVDIMM driver does not support namespace operation on this
kind of PMEM, apply below changes to support dynamical namespace:

                        continue;
                }
 
-               if (nfit_mem->bdw && nfit_mem->memdev_pmem)
+               //if (nfit_mem->bdw && nfit_mem->memdev_pmem)
+               if (nfit_mem->memdev_pmem)
                        flags |= NDD_ALIASING;

You can append a NVDIMM device in guest and do:                       
# cd /sys/bus/nd/devices/
# cd namespace0.0/
# echo `uuidgen` > uuid
# echo `expr 1024 \* 1024 \* 128` > size
then reload nd.pmem.ko

You can see /dev/pmem0 appears
