That PFN_MAP flag will not be set by default for NFIT-defined persistent memory. See pmem_should_map_pages() for pmem namespaces that will have it set by default, currently only e820 type-12 memory ranges. NFIT-defined persistent memory can have a memmap array dynamically allocated by setting up a pfn device (similar to setting up a btt). We don't map it by default because the NFIT may describe hundreds of gigabytes of persistent and the overhead of the memmap may be too large to locate the memmap in ram. I have a pending patch in libnvdimm-pending that allows the capacity for the memmap to come from pmem instead of ram: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm.git/commit/?h=libnvdimm-pending&id=3117a24e07fe > I also noticed that reason is not set in the case below. > > if (length < PMD_SIZE > || (pfn_t_to_pfn(dax.pfn) & PG_PMD_COLOUR)) { > dax_unmap_atomic(bdev, &dax); > goto fallback; > } Thanks, I'll fix that up. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
