[PATCH v3] powerpc/papr_scm: Implement support for H_SCM_FLUSH hcall

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

 



Add support for ND_REGION_ASYNC capability if the device tree
indicates 'ibm,hcall-flush-required' property in the NVDIMM node.
Flush is done by issuing H_SCM_FLUSH hcall to the hypervisor.

If the flush request failed, the hypervisor is expected to
to reflect the problem in the subsequent nvdimm H_SCM_HEALTH call.

This patch prevents mmap of namespaces with MAP_SYNC flag if the
nvdimm requires an explicit flush[1].
