x86, libnvdimm, pmem: remove global pmem api

2017-06-27T23:29:54Z

Now that all callers of the pmem api have been converted to dax helpers that call back to the pmem driver, we can remove include/linux/pmem.h and asm/pmem.h.

x86, libnvdimm, pmem: move arch_invalidate_pmem() to libnvdimm

Kill this globally defined wrapper and move to libnvdimm so that we can ultimately remove include/linux/pmem.h and asm/pmem.h. Cc: Cc: Jeff Moyer Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: "H.

x86, dax, libnvdimm: remove wb_cache_pmem() indirection

2017-06-15T21:35:24Z

With all handling of the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API case being moved to libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly we do not need to provide global wrappers and fallbacks in the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API=n case. The pmem driver will simply not link to arch_wb_cache_pmem() in that case. Same as before, pmem flushing is only defined for x86_64, via clean_cache_range(), but it is straightforward to add other archs in the future. arch_wb_cache_pmem() is an exported function since the pmem module needs to find it, but it is privately declared in drivers/nvdimm/pmem.h because there are no consumers outside of the pmem driver.

x86, dax: replace clear_pmem() with open coded memset + dax_ops->flush

2017-06-15T21:35:24Z

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. Cc: Cc: Jeff Moyer Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: "H.

filesystem-dax: convert to dax_copy_from_iter()

Now that all possible providers of the dax_operations copy_from_iter method are implemented, switch filesytem-dax to call the driver rather than copy_to_iter_pmem. Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

x86, dax, pmem: remove indirection around memcpy_from_pmem()

2017-04-25T20:20:46Z

memcpy_from_pmem() maps directly to memcpy_mcsafe(). The wrapper serves no real benefit aside from affording a more generic function name than the x86-specific 'mcsafe'. However this would not be the first time that x86 terminology leaked into the global namespace. For lack of better name, just use memcpy_mcsafe() directly. This conversion also catches a place where we should have been using plain memcpy, acpi_nfit_blk_single_io(). Cc: Cc: Jan Kara Cc: Jeff Moyer Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: "H.

pmem: kill __pmem address space

2016-07-13T02:25:38Z

The __pmem address space was meant to annotate codepaths that touch persistent memory and need to coordinate a call to wmb_pmem(). Now that wmb_pmem() is gone, there is little need to keep this annotation. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

pmem: fix BUG() error in pmem.h:48 on X86_32

2016-04-14T15:01:47Z

After 'commit fc0c2028135c ("x86, pmem: use memcpy_mcsafe() for memcpy_from_pmem()")', probing a PMEM device hits the BUG() error below on X86_32 kernel. kernel BUG at include/linux/pmem.h:48! memcpy_from_pmem() calls arch_memcpy_from_pmem(), which is unimplemented since CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is undefined on X86_32.
