[PATCH v3 07/14] x86, dax: replace clear_pmem() with open coded memset + dax_ops->flush

Show all headers | View raw

The clear_pmem() helper simply combines a memset() plus a cache flush.
Now that the flush routine is optionally provided by the dax device
driver we can avoid unnecessary cache management on dax devices fronting
volatile memory.

With clear_pmem() gone we can follow on with a patch to make pmem cache
management completely defined within the pmem driver.
