* drivers/block/pmem: Map NVDIMM in Write-Through modeToshi Kani2015-06-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pmem driver maps NVDIMM uncacheable so that we don't lose data which hasn't reached non-volatile storage in the case of a crash. Change this to Write-Through mode which provides uncached writes but cached reads, thus improving read performance.

* drivers/block/pmem: Add a driver for persistent memoryRoss Zwisler2015-04-011-0/+263
PMEM is a new driver that presents a reserved range of memory as a block device. This is useful for developing with NV-DIMMs, and can be used with volatile memory as a development platform. This patch contains the initial driver from Ross Zwisler, with various changes: converted it to use a platform_device for discovery, fixed partition support and merged various patches from Boaz Harrosh.
