NAME

pmemset_deep_flush() - performs deep flush on the range

SYNOPSIS

#include <libpmemset.h>

int pmemset_deep_flush(struct pmemset *set, const void *ptr, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION

The pmemset_deep_flush() function forces any changes in the range [ptr, ptr+size) from the set to be stored durably in the most reliable persistence domain available to software. In particular, on supported platforms, this enables the code not to rely on automatic cache or WPQ (write pending queue) flush on power failure (ADR/eADR).

Since this operation is usually much more expensive than regular persist, it should be used sparingly. Typically, the application should only ever use this function as a precaution against hardware failures, e.g., in code that detects silent data corruption caused by unsafe shutdown.

RETURN VALUE

The pmemset_deep_flush() function returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure.

ERRORS

The pmemset_deep_flush() can fail with the following errors:
