The goal of this series is to enhance the DAX I/O path so that all operations that store data (I/O writes, zeroing blocks, punching holes, etc.) properly synchronize the stores to media using the PMEM API. This ensures that the data DAX is writing is durable on media before the operation completes. Patches 1-4 are a few random cleanups. Changes from v2: - Introduce copy_from_iter_pmem() as part of the PMEM API. Keep the use of __arch_wmb_cache_pmem() internal to the implmentation of the PMEM API. (Dan) Ross Zwisler (7): brd: make rd_size static pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header pmem: remove layer when calling arch_has_wmb_pmem() pmem, x86: clean up conditional pmem includes pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem() dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing pmem, dax: have direct_access use __pmem annotation Documentation/filesystems/Locking | 3 +- MAINTAINERS | 1 + arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c | 7 +- arch/x86/include/asm/cacheflush.h | 71 ------------------ arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h | 152 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/block/brd.c | 6 +- drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c | 4 +- drivers/s390/block/dcssblk.c | 10 ++- fs/block_dev.c | 2 +- fs/dax.c | 68 ++++++++++------- include/linux/blkdev.h | 8 +- include/linux/pmem.h | 78 +++++++++++++++---- 12 files changed, 282 insertions(+), 128 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
