[PATCH 6/6] dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing

From: Ross Zwisler
Date: Thu Aug 06 2015 - 13:43:56 EST


Update the DAX I/O path so that all operations that store data (I/O
writes, zeroing blocks, punching holes, etc.) properly synchronize the
stores to media using the PMEM API. This ensures that the data DAX is
writing is durable on media before the operation completes.
