libnvdimm: use consistent naming for request_mem_region() Here is an example /proc/iomem listing for a system with 2 namespaces, one in "sector" mode and one in "memory" mode: 1fc000000-2fbffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy) 1fc000000-2fbffffff : namespace1.0 340000000-34fffffff : Persistent Memory 340000000-34fffffff : btt0.1 Here is the corresponding ndctl listing: # ndctl list [ { "dev":"namespace1.0", "mode":"memory", "size":4294967296, "blockdev":"pmem1" }, { "dev":"namespace0.0", "mode":"sector", "size":267091968, "uuid":"f7594f86-badb-4592-875f-ded577da2eaf", "sector_size":4096, "blockdev":"pmem0s" } ] Notice that the ndctl listing is purely in terms of namespace devices, while the iomem listing leaks the internal "btt0.1" implementation detail. Given that ndctl requires the namespace device name to change the mode, for example: # ndctl create-namespace --reconfig=namespace0.0 --mode=raw --force ...use the namespace name in the iomem listing to keep the claiming device name consistent across different mode settings.
