    x86, dax: replace clear_pmem() with open coded memset + dax_ops->flush · 81f55870
    Dan Williams 提交于
    The clear_pmem() helper simply combines a memset() plus a cache flush.
    Now that the flush routine is optionally provided by the dax device
    driver we can avoid unnecessary cache management on dax devices fronting
    volatile memory.
    
    With clear_pmem() gone we can follow on with a patch to make pmem cache
    management completely defined within the pmem driver.
