This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads. For rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was done on a random lab machine. PMEM reads from a write combining mapping: # dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s PMEM reads from a write-back mapping: # dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000 1000000+0 records in 1000000+0 records out 4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec: http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read, and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed. In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently only supported on x86.

/*
|
|
* The set_memory_* API can be used to change various attributes of a virtual
|
|
* address range. The attributes include:
|
|
* Cachability : UnCached, WriteCombining, WriteThrough, WriteBack
|
|
* Executability : eXeutable, NoteXecutable
|
|
* Read/Write : ReadOnly, ReadWrite
|
|
* Presence : NotPresent
|
|
*
|
|
* Within a category, the attributes are mutually exclusive.
|
|
*
|
|
* The implementation of this API will take care of various aspects that
|
|
* are associated with changing such attributes, such as:
|
|
* - Flushing TLBs
|
|
* - Flushing CPU caches
|
|
* - Making sure aliases of the memory behind the mapping don't violate
|
|
* coherency rules as defined by the CPU in the system.
|
|
*
|
|
* What this API does not do:
|
|
* - Provide exclusion between various callers - including callers that
|
|
* operation on other mappings of the same physical page
|
|
* - Restore default attributes when a page is freed
|
|
* - Guarantee that mappings other than the requested one are
|
|
* in any state, other than that these do not violate rules for
|
|
* the CPU you have. Do not depend on any effects on other mappings,
|
|
* CPUs other than the one you have may have more relaxed rules.
|
|
* The caller is required to take care of these.

/*
|
|

|
|
* are provided that work on a "struct page".
|
|
* These functions operate ONLY on the 1:1 kernel mapping of the

|
* memory that the struct page represents, and internally just
|
|
* call the set_memory_* function. See the description of the
|
|
* set_memory_* function for more details on conventions.
|
|
*
|
|
* These APIs should be considered *deprecated* and are likely going to

|
|
* The reason for this is the implicit operation on the 1:1 mapping only,
|
|
* making this not a generally useful API.
|
|
*
|
|
* Specifically, many users of the old APIs had a virtual address,
|
|
* called virt_to_page() or vmalloc_to_page() on that address to
|
|
* get a struct page* that the old API required.
|
|
* To convert these cases, use set_memory_*() on the original
|
|
* virtual address, do not use these functions.
