This patch adds functionality to perform flush from guest to host over VIRTIO. We are registering a callback based on 'nd_region' type. virtio_pmem driver requires this special flush function. For rest of the region types we are registering existing flush function. Report error returned by host fsync failure to userspace. Signed-off-by: Pankaj Gupta <pagupta at redhat.com> ---

For rest of the region types we are registering existing flush function. Report error returned by host fsync failure to userspace. This also handles asynchronous flush requests from the block layer

I think I found a bug affecting btrfs filesystems and users invoking fstrim to discard unused blocks: if I execute a `fstrim -v /` twice, the amount trimmed does not change on the 2nd invocation AND it takes just as long as the first.  Why do I think this is a bug?  When I do the same on an ext4 partition I get different behavior: the output shows 0 B trimmed and it does is instantaneously when I

This patch series has implementation for "virtio pmem". "virtio pmem" is fake persistent memory(nvdimm) in guest which allows to bypass the guest page cache. This also implements a VIRTIO based asynchronous flush mechanism. Sharing guest kernel driver in this patchset with the changes suggested in v4. Tested with Qemu side device emulation [6] for virtio-pmem.

This patch series is ready to be merged via nvdimm tree as discussed with Dan. We have ack/review on XFS, EXT4 & VIRTIO patches. Need an ack on device mapper change in patch 4. Mike, Can you please review and ack patch4. This version does not has any additonal code change from v10 and is only rebase of v10 on Linux 5.2-rc4 which is required for patch4. Keeping all the existing

This patch series is ready to be merged via nvdimm tree as discussed with Dan. We have ack/review on XFS, EXT4 & VIRTIO patches. Need an ack on device mapper change in patch 4. Mike, Can you please review patch 4 which has change for dax with device mapper. Incorporated all the changes suggested in v9.

Hi Jens, this series removes the revalidate_disk() function, which has been a really odd duck in the last years. The prime reason why most people use it is because it propagates a size change from the gendisk to the block_device structure. But it also calls into the rather ill defined ->revalidate_disk method which is rather useless for the callers. So this adds a new helper to just
