When testing the dm-writecache target on a real DDR persistent memory (Intel Optane), it turned out that explicit cache flushing using the clflushopt instruction performs better than non-temporal stores for block sizes 1k, 2k and 4k. The dm-writecache target is singlethreaded (all the copying is done while holding the writecache lock), so it benefits from clwb, see: http://lore.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.02.2004160411460.7833@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com Add a new function memcpy_flushcache_optimized() that tests if clflushopt is present - and if it is, we use it instead of memcpy_flushcache.
