Previously, a fixed abstract distance MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used for slow memory type in kmem driver. This limits the usage of kmem driver, for example, it cannot be used for HBM (high bandwidth memory). So, we use the general abstract distance calculation mechanism in kmem drivers to get more accurate abstract distance on systems with proper support. The original MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used as fallback only. Now, multiple memory types may be managed by kmem. These memory types are put into the "kmem_memory_types" list and protected by kmem_memory_type_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
