\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This patch fixes below sparse warning related to __virtio type in virtio pmem driver. This is reported by Intel test bot on linux-next tree. nd_virtio.c:56:28: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) nd_virtio.c:56:28: expected unsigned int [unsigned] [usertype] type nd_virtio.c:56:28: got restricted __virtio32 nd_virtio.c:93:59: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types) nd_virtio.c:93:59: expected restricted __virtio32 [usertype] val nd_virtio.c:93:59: got unsigned int [unsigned] [usertype] ret Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Pankaj Gupta <pagupta@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

*	virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver	Pankaj Gupta	2019-07-05	1	-0/+125
	This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest. Guest reads the persistent memory range information from Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver can reserve this into system memory map. This way 'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX capable filesystems. This also provides function to perform guest flush over VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush on DAX memory range.
