From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:15:11 -0500 From: Jerome Glisse To: lsf-pc@lists.linux-foundation.org, linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-block@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [LSF/MM TOPIC] Un-addressable device memory and block/fs implications Message-ID: <20161213181511.GB2305@redhat.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: I would like to discuss un-addressable device memory in the context of filesystem and block device. Specificaly how to handle write-back, read, ... when a filesystem page is migrated to device memory that CPU can not access. I intend to post a patchset leveraging the same idea as the existing block bounce helper (block/bounce.c) to handle this. I believe this is worth discussing during summit see how people feels about such plan and if they have better ideas. I also like to join discussions on: - Peer-to-Peer DMAs between PCIe devices - CDM coherent device memory - PMEM - overall mm discussions Cheers, J�r�me -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
