[PATCH 07/13] libnvdimm, pmem: use REQ_FUA, REQ_FLUSH for nvdimm_flush()

From: Dan Williams
Date: Sat Jun 04 2016 - 16:54:07 EST


Given that nvdimm_flush() has higher overhead than wmb_pmem() (pointer
chasing through nd_region), and that we otherwise assume a platform has
ADR capability when flush hints are not present, move nvdimm_flush() to
REQ_FLUSH context.
