From 2361db89aaadfb671db6911b0063e01ec8922c28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2021 17:43:38 -0800 Subject: libnvdimm: Notify disk drivers to revalidate region read-only Previous kernels allowed the BLKROSET to override the disk's read-only status. With that situation fixed the pmem driver needs to rely on notification events to reevaluate the disk read-only status after the host region has been marked read-write. Recall that when libnvdimm determines that the persistent memory has lost persistence (for example lack of energy to flush from DRAM to FLASH on an NVDIMM-N device) it marks the region read-only, but that state can be overridden by the user via: echo 0 > /sys/bus/nd/devices/regionX/read_only ...to date there is no notification that the region has restored persistence, so the user override is the only recovery.
