Switch zone_device_page_init_from_template() to memcpy_nt() and add memcpy_nt_drain() before memmap_init_compound(), before prep_compound_head() updates overlapping tail metadata, and before returning from memmap_init_zone_device(). ZONE_DEVICE memmap initialization is largely write-once: each struct page is populated once, and most destination cachelines are not expected to be reused immediately afterwards. On x86, a regular cached memcpy() can therefore incur write-allocate traffic by pulling destination cachelines into the cache before writeback, and can populate the cache with data that has little near-term reuse. Using memcpy_nt() lets this path request non-temporal stores for that copy pattern, which can reduce cache pollution and avoid part of the associated write-allocate overhead, while architectures without a specialized backend still fall back to memcpy(). When memcpy_nt() maps to non-temporal stores, order those stores before memmap_init_compound(), before prep_compound_head() updates overlapping compound metadata, and before returning from memmap_init_zone_device(). Keep sanitized builds on the slow path so KASAN/KMSAN retain their instrumented stores. Tested in a VM with a 100 GB fsdax namespace device configured with map=dev and a 100 GB devdax namespace (align=2097152) on Intel Ice Lake server. Test procedure: Rebind the nd_pmem and dax_pmem driver 30 times and collect the memmap initialization time from the pr_debug() output of memmap_init_zone_device(). Base(v7.2-rc1): First binding for nd_pmem driver: 1456 ms Average of subsequent rebinds: 244.28 ms First binding for dax_pmem driver: 1462 ms Average of subsequent rebinds: 273.31 ms With this series: First binding for nd_pmem driver: 1272 ms Average of subsequent rebinds: 96.79 ms First binding for dax_pmem driver: 1354 ms Average of subsequent rebinds: 119.04 ms This reduces the average rebind time by about 60.4% for nd_pmem and 56.4% for dax_pmem.
