[PATCH v3] libnvdimm, pmem: use REQ_FUA, REQ_FLUSH for nvdimm_flush()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Given that nvdimm_flush() has higher overhead than wmb_pmem() (pointer
chasing through nd_region), and that we otherwise assume a platform has
ADR capability when flush hints are not present, move nvdimm_flush() to
REQ_FLUSH context.

Note that we still arrange for nvdimm_flush() to be called even in the
ADR case. We need at least once wmb() fence to push buffered writes in
the cpu out to the ADR protected domain.

Change since v2: arrange for wmb() to be called for flushing in the ADR case
