Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/lib/copy_user_64.S: Handle 4-byte uncached copy
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:12:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454004770-6318-2-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hpe.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1454004770-6318-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hpe.com>

Data corruption issues were observed in tests which initiated
a system crash while accessing BTT devices.  This problem is
reproducible.

The BTT driver calls pmem_rw_bytes() to update data in pmem
devices.  This interface calls __copy_user_nocache(), which
uses non-temporal stores so that the stores to pmem are
persistent.

__copy_user_nocache() uses non-temporal stores when a request
size is 8 bytes or larger (and is aligned by 8 bytes).  The
BTT driver updates the BTT map table, which entry size is
4 bytes.  Therefore, updates to the map table entries remain
cached, and are not written to pmem after a crash.

Change __copy_user_nocache() to use non-temporal store when
a request size is 4 bytes.  The change extends the byte-copy
path for a less-than-8-bytes request, and does not add any
overhead to the regular path.

Also add comments to clarify the cases cached copy is used.
