[RFC PATCH 15/15] [dax|pmem]: Enable stray write protection

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

 



From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

Protecting against stray writes is particularly important for PMEM
because, unlike writes to anonymous memory, writes to PMEM persists
across a reboot.  Thus data corruption could result in permanent loss of
data.  Therefore, there is no option presented to the user.

Enable stray write protection by setting the flag in pgmap which
requests it.  Note if Zone Device Access Protection not be supported
this flag will have no affect.
