 more than one struct page struct with PG_head (e.g. 8 per 2 MB HugeTLB page)
 associated with each HugeTLB page. The compound_head() can handle this
 correctly (more details refer to the comment above compound_head()).
+
+Device DAX
+==========
+
+The device-dax interface uses the same tail deduplication technique explained
+in the previous chapter, except when used with the vmemmap in
+the device (altmap).
+
+The following page sizes are supported in DAX: PAGE_SIZE (4K on x86_64),
+PMD_SIZE (2M on x86_64) and PUD_SIZE (1G on x86_64).
+
+The differences with HugeTLB are relatively minor.
+
+It only use 3 page structs for storing all information as opposed
+to 4 on HugeTLB pages.
+
+There's no remapping of vmemmap given that device-dax memory is not part of
+System RAM ranges initialized at boot. Thus the tail page deduplication
+happens at a later stage when we populate the sections. HugeTLB reuses the
+the head vmemmap page representing, whereas device-dax reuses the tail
+vmemmap page. This results in only half of the savings compared to HugeTLB.
+
+Deduplicated tail pages are not mapped read-only.
+
+Here's how things look like on device-dax after the sections are populated::
