Hello Sir,
I have recompiled the kernel with the specified parameters and mount
/dev/pmem0 is created as expected. But when I'm trying to do this:
mount -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt/mem
I'm getting an error :
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/pmem0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so."
When I tried to do dmesg | tail this is the problem:

I have also tried to search for this error in this source:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/23/385
But it is regarding mounting xfs instead on ext4. Do you suggest any
alternative to make this work with ext4? I really apologize for sending you
using Gmail not using mutt or git send email but I'm a newbie to this.
Awaiting your response.

Well, the implicit steps between "set up the correct kernel config" and
"use
fdisk" are "compile a kernel with the new config, reboot using that newly
compiled kernel".
Also, make sure you are setting up the memmap kernel param correctly:
