File 0083-nvdimm-add-unarmed-option.patch of Package qemu-linux-user.19805
From: Haozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@intel.com> Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 15:28:06 +0800 Subject: nvdimm: add 'unarmed' option Include-If: %if 0%{?suse_version} == 1315 Currently the only vNVDIMM backend can guarantee the guest write persistence is device DAX on Linux, because no host-side kernel cache is involved in the guest access to it. The approach to detect whether the backend is device DAX needs to access sysfs, which may not work with SELinux. Instead, we add the 'unarmed' option to device 'nvdimm', so that users or management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend, can control the unarmed flag in guest ACPI NFIT via this option. The guest Linux NVDIMM driver, for example, will mark the corresponding vNVDIMM device read-only if the unarmed flag in guest NFIT is set. The default value of 'unarmed' option is 'off' in order to keep the backwards compatibility.
