Yes, that makes things much cleaner. Revised patch and changelog below:
8<----
Subject: x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>
Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
WB-mapped-PMEM. This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
the direct map and mapping it with struct page.
The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
instruction is not available. When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.
The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains. Namely,
map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.
arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()". Code
that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.
