From 81f558701ae8d5677635118751b1b4043094c7e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 13:12:20 -0700 Subject: x86, dax: replace clear_pmem() with open coded memset + dax_ops->flush 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.
