libnvdimm, pmem: Do not flush power-fail protected CPU caches
This commit:5fdf8e5ba5
("libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()") intended to make sure that deep flush was always available even on platforms which support a power-fail protected CPU cache. An unintended side effect of this change was that we also lost the ability to skip flushing CPU caches on those power-fail protected CPU cache. Fix this by skipping the low level cache flushing in dax_flush() if we have CPU caches which are power-fail protected. The user can still override this behavior by manually setting the write_cache state of a namespace. See libndctl's ndctl_namespace_write_cache_is_enabled(), ndctl_namespace_enable_write_cache() and ndctl_namespace_disable_write_cache() functions. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Fixes:5fdf8e5ba5
