powerpc/papr_scm: Don't enable direct map for a region by default
Setting ND_REGION_PAGEMAP flag implies namespace mode defaults to fsdax mode. This also means kernel ends up creating struct page backing for these namspace ranges. With large namespaces that is not the right thing to do. We should let the user select the mode he/she wants the namespace to be created with. Hence disable ND_REGION_PAGEMAP for papr_scm regions. We still keep the flag for of_pmem because it supports only small persistent memory regions. This is similar to what is done for x86 with commit commit: 004f1afb ("libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default") Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200108064647.169637-1-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com
