[PATCH v3 00/11] evacuate struct page from the block layer, introduce __pfn_t
by Dan Williams
Changes since v2 [1]:
[1]: https://lwn.net/Articles/643437/
1/ Linus pointed out that comparing a __pfn_t value against PAGE_OFFSET
was both inefficient, when PAGE_OFFSET is a large constant, and
incorrect for archs that set PAGE_OFFSET to zero. Instead, take
advantage of the standard alignment of a 'struct page *' to store a set
of flags. In this patch set the only flag defined is PFN_DEV to
indicate "this pfn originated from device memory". A potential future
flag is PFN_DEV_MAPPED if the device has arranged for an associated
struct page for the __pfn_t.
2/ Fix DAX against pmem device disable/removal using
kmap_atomic_pfn_t(). We can later exploit these annotations to protect
against the "stray pointer problem" whereby a kernel bug in an unrelated
part of the system causes inadvertent scribbling over pmem.
3/ Made the series easier to merge as it no longer causes compile errors
by default for new usages of bv_page arriving in the next merge window.
4/ arch/x86/kernel/kmap.c => mm/pfn.c since it is generic functionality.
5/ Updated the kmap_atomic() helpers in bio.h to use kmap_atomic_pfn_t()

rename arch/x86/kernel/kmap.c => mm/pfn.c (100%)
While we wait for the debate [2] to settle about what to do about i/o
paths that ostensibly require struct page, these patches enable a
stacked/tiered storage driver to manage pmem fronting slower storage
media.

[PATCH v9 0/10] Support Write-Through mapping on x86
by Toshi Kani
This patchset adds support of Write-Through (WT) mapping on x86.
The study below shows that using WT mapping may be useful for
non-volatile memory.
http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2012/HPL-2012-236.pdf
The patchset consists of the following changes.
- Patch 1/10 to 5/10 add ioremap_wt()
- Patch 6/10 adds pgprot_writethrough()
- Patch 7/10 to 8/10 add set_memory_wt()
- Patch 9/10 refactors !pat_enable paths
- Patch 10/10 changes the pmem driver to call ioremap_wt()
All new/modified interfaces have been tested.
---
v9:
- Changed to export the set_xxx_wt() interfaces with GPL.
(Ingo Molnar)
- Changed is_new_memtype_allowed() to handle WT cases.
- Changed arch-specific io.h to define ioremap_wt().
- Changed the pmem driver to use ioremap_wt().
- Rebased to 4.1-rc3 and resolved minor conflicts.
v8:
- Rebased to 4.0-rc1 and resolved conflicts with 9d34cfdf4 in
patch 5/7.
v7:
- Rebased to 3.19-rc3 as Juergen's patchset for the PAT management
has been accepted.
v6:
- Dropped the patch moving [set|get]_page_memtype() to pat.c
since the tip branch already has this change.
- Fixed an issue when CONFIG_X86_PAT is not defined.
v5:
- Clarified comment of why using slot 7. (Andy Lutomirski,
Thomas Gleixner)
- Moved [set|get]_page_memtype() to pat.c. (Thomas Gleixner)
- Removed BUG() from set_page_memtype(). (Thomas Gleixner)
v4:
- Added set_memory_wt() by adding WT support of regular memory.
v3:
- Dropped the set_memory_wt() patch. (Andy Lutomirski)
- Refactored the !pat_enabled handling. (H. Peter Anvin,
Andy Lutomirski)
- Added the picture of PTE encoding. (Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk)
v2:
- Changed WT to use slot 7 of the PAT MSR. (H. Peter Anvin,
Andy Lutomirski)
- Changed to have conservative checks to exclude all Pentium 2, 3,
M, and 4 families. (Ingo Molnar, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh,
Andy Lutomirski)
- Updated documentation to cover WT interfaces and usages.
(Andy Lutomirski, Yigal Korman)

Toshi Kani (10):
1/10 x86, mm, pat: Set WT to PA7 slot of PAT MSR
2/10 x86, mm, pat: Change reserve_memtype() for WT
3/10 x86, asm: Change is_new_memtype_allowed() for WT
4/10 x86, mm, asm-gen: Add ioremap_wt() for WT
5/10 arch/*/asm/io.h: Add ioremap_wt() to all architectures
6/10 x86, mm, pat: Add pgprot_writethrough() for WT
7/10 x86, mm, asm: Add WT support to set_page_memtype()
8/10 x86, mm: Add set_memory_wt() for WT
9/10 x86, mm, pat: Refactor !pat_enable handling
10/10 drivers/block/pmem: Map NVDIMM with ioremap_wt()
