Subject: drivers/block/pmem: Map NVDIMM in Write-Through mode
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=957561ec0fa8a701f60ca6a0f40cc46f5c554920;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

drivers/block/pmem: Map NVDIMM in Write-Through mode

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.
