Commit 546eb0317cfa "libnvdimm, pmem: Do not flush power-fail protected CPU caches" fixed the write_cache detection to correctly show the lack of a write cache based on the platform capabilities described in the ACPI NFIT. The nfit_test unit tests expected a write cache to be present, so change the nfit test namespaces to only advertise a persistence domain limited to the memory controller. This allows the kernel to show a write_cache attribute, and the test behaviour remains unchanged.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
