From 5deb67f77a266010e2c10fb124b7516d0d258ce8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Murphy Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2017 12:27:09 +0100 Subject: libnvdimm, nd_blk: remove mmio_flush_range() mmio_flush_range() suffers from a lack of clearly-defined semantics, and is somewhat ambiguous to port to other architectures where the scope of the writeback implied by "flush" and ordering might matter, but MMIO would tend to imply non-cacheable anyway. Per the rationale in 67a3e8fe9015 ("nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB"), the only existing use is actually to invalidate clean cache lines for ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM type mappings *without* writeback. Since the recent cleanup of the pmem API, that also now happens to be the exact purpose of arch_invalidate_pmem(), which would be a far more well-defined tool for the job. Rather than risk potentially inconsistent implementations of mmio_flush_range() for the sake of one callsite, streamline things by removing it entirely and instead move the ARCH_MEMREMAP_PMEM related definitions up to the libnvdimm level, so they can be shared by NFIT as well. This allows NFIT to be enabled for arm64.
