The function of it is to bypass the cpu in resource calls

DirectStorage is just what Microsoft called it when they tried to brand it as a new feature

That’s not what DirectStorage does though. It reduces CPU overhead but doesn’t eliminate it. It’s not DMA

If you already knew then why did you need me explain in layman’s?

You might as well call it DirectStorage when people outside of Linux will know of that and as per above people will think it started on XSX
