Where does the SZ_1G come from is it because you want to do cond_resched()
every 1G bytes so not to get stuck for a long time?
It took me a while to catch, At first I thought it might be do to wb_cache_pmem()
limitations. Would you put a comment in the next iteration?

There is a clflush_cache_range() defined for generic use. On ADR systems (even without pcommit)
this works perfectly and is persistent. why not use that in the generic case?
Also all the above and below can be implements via this one.
One usage of pmem is overlooked by all this API. The use of DRAM as pmem, across a VM
or cross reboot. you have a piece of memory exposed as pmem to the subsytem which survives
past the boot of that system. The CPU cache still needs flushing in this case.
(People are already using this for logs and crash dumps)
So all arches including all x86 variants can have a working generic implementation
that will work, based on clflush_cache_range()
I'll work on this ASAP and send patches ...

Ye no I hate this. (No need to touch mm)
All we need to do is define a dax_fsync()
dax FS registers a special dax vector for ->fsync() that vector
needs to call dax_fsync(); first as part of its fsync operation.
Then dax_fsync() is:
dax_fsync()
{
/* we always write with sync so only fsync if the file mmap'ed */
if (mapping_mapped(inode->i_mapping) == 0)
return 0;
dax_sync_range(start, range_len);
}
Thanks
