One of the primary uses for NV-DIMMs is to expose them as a block device
and use a filesystem to store files on the NV-DIMM.  While that works,
it currently wastes memory and CPU time buffering the files in the page
cache.  We have support in ext2 for bypassing the page cache, but it
has some races which are unfixable in the current design.  This series
of patches rewrite the underlying support, and add support for direct
access to ext4.

Note that patch 6/21 has been included in
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git/log/?h=for-next-candidate
Matthew hi

Could you please push this to the regular or a new public tree?

(Old versions are at: https://github.com/01org/prd)

Thanks
Boaz
Hi Boaz,

I've pushed the updated tree to https://github.com/01org/prd in the master
branch.  All the older versions of the code that we've had while rebasing are
still available in their own branches.

Thanks,
- Ross
