[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 152/293] libnvdimm, pmem: fix persistence warning

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

 



From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c00b396ef782cb2296200d868a0013d8ca1d615e ]

The pmem driver assumes if platform firmware describes the memory
devices associated with a persistent memory range and
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API=y that it has all the mechanism necessary to
flush data to a power-fail safe zone. We warn if the firmware does not
describe memory devices, but we also need to warn if the architecture
does not claim pmem support.
