Hi list

We are trying to mmap the file in xfs-dax to userland with writethrough mode,
hope to avoid bandwidth and latency cause by write-allocate in writeback mode
and we can still use the original userland application code w/o using NTstore.

We add following code in the mmap callback of xfs,

vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_writethrough(vma->vm_page_prot);

But it seems to not work. When I use pcm-memory to check the bandwidth of PMM,
PMM read BW is still there which is nearly equal with PMM write. Even I use
pgprot_noncached, it still not work.

What should I do to implement the writethrough mapping ?

Thanks a million for any help.
