If the block device supports DAX and the filesystem supports DAX, then you can avoid using the pagecache to buffer I/Os. Turning on this option will compile in support for DAX. For a DAX device to support file system access it needs to have struct pages. For the nfit based NVDIMMs this can be enabled using the ndctl utility: # ndctl create-namespace --force --reconfig=namespace0.0 \ --mode=fsdax --map=mem See the 'create-namespace' man page for details on the overhead of --map=mem: https://docs.pmem.io/ndctl-user-guide/ndctl-man-pages/ndctl-create-namespace For ndctl to work CONFIG_DEV_DAX needs to be enabled as well. For most file systems DAX support needs to be manually enabled globally or per-inode using a mount option as well. See the file documentation in Documentation/filesystems/dax.rst for details. If you do not have a block device that is capable of using this, or if unsure, say N.

Everything in tmpfs is temporary in the sense that no files will be created on your hard drive. The files live in memory and swap space. If you unmount a tmpfs instance, everything stored therein is lost.

If you've selected TMPFS, it's possible that you'll also need this option as there are a number of Linux distros that require POSIX ACL support under /dev for certain features to work properly. For example, some distros need this feature for ALSA-related /dev files for sound to work properly. In short, if you're not sure, say Y. config TMPFS_XATTR bool "Tmpfs extended attributes" depends on TMPFS default n help Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details).

If unsure, say N. config TMPFS_INODE64 bool "Use 64-bit ino_t by default in tmpfs" depends on TMPFS && 64BIT default n help tmpfs has historically used only inode numbers as wide as an unsigned int. In some cases this can cause wraparound, potentially resulting in multiple files with the same inode number on a single device. This option makes tmpfs use the full width of ino_t by default, without needing to specify the inode64 option when mounting. But if a long-lived tmpfs is to be accessed by 32-bit applications so ancient that opening a file larger than 2GiB fails with EINVAL, then the INODE64 config option and inode64 mount option risk operations failing with EOVERFLOW once 33-bit inode numbers are reached. To override this configured default, use the inode32 or inode64 option when mounting.
