[PATCH v2 5/7] pmem: add wb_cache_pmem() and clear_pmem()

From: Ross Zwisler
Date: Thu Aug 13 2015 - 12:56:44 EST


Add support for two new PMEM APIs, wb_cache_pmem() and clear_pmem().
The first, wb_cache_pmem(), is used to write back ranges of dirtied
cache lines to media in order to make stores durable. The contents of
the now-clean cache lines can potentially still reside in the cache
after this write back operation allowing subsequent loads to be serviced
from the cache.

The second, clear_pmem(), zeros a PMEM memory range and ensures that the
newly zeroed data is properly flushed from the processor cache to media.
This can be done either with normal writes followed by wb_cache_pmem()
calls, or by using non-temporal stores.

Both of these new APIs must be explicitly ordered using a wmb_pmem()
function call. Because both APIs are unordered they can be called as
needed without introducing any unwanted memory barriers.
