      pmem: add wb_cache_pmem() to the PMEM API · 3f4a2670
      Ross Zwisler 提交于
      __arch_wb_cache_pmem() was already an internal implementation detail of
      the x86 PMEM API, but this functionality needs to be exported as part of
      the general PMEM API to handle the fsync/msync case for DAX mmaps.
      
      One thing worth noting is that we really do want this to be part of the
      PMEM API as opposed to a stand-alone function like clflush_cache_range()
      because of ordering restrictions.  By having wb_cache_pmem() as part of
      the PMEM API we can leave it unordered, call it multiple times to write
      back large amounts of memory, and then order the multiple calls with a
      single wmb_pmem().

      x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB · 96601adb
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
      expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
      definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
      WB-mapped-PMEM.  This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
      the direct map and mapping it with struct page.
      
      The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
      permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
      needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
      instruction is not available.  When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
      guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
      implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
      ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.
      
      The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains.  Namely,
      map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.
      
      arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
      provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
      outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()".  Code
      that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
      call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.
