   8  *
   9  * REQ_{FLUSH|FUA} requests are decomposed to sequences consisted of three
  10  * optional steps - PREFLUSH, DATA and POSTFLUSH - according to the request
  11  * properties and hardware capability.
  12  *
  13  * If a request doesn't have data, only REQ_FLUSH makes sense, which
  14  * indicates a simple flush request.  If there is data, REQ_FLUSH indicates
  15  * that the device cache should be flushed before the data is executed, and
  16  * REQ_FUA means that the data must be on non-volatile media on request
  17  * completion.
  18  *
  19  * If the device doesn't have writeback cache, FLUSH and FUA don't make any
  20  * difference.  The requests are either completed immediately if there's no
  21  * data or executed as normal requests otherwise.
  22  *
  23  * If the device has writeback cache and supports FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
  24  * translated to PREFLUSH but REQ_FUA is passed down directly with DATA.
  25  *
  26  * If the device has writeback cache and doesn't support FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
  27  * translated to PREFLUSH and REQ_FUA to POSTFLUSH.
  28  *
  29  * The actual execution of flush is double buffered.  Whenever a request
  30  * needs to execute PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues at
  31  * q->flush_queue[q->flush_pending_idx].  Once certain criteria are met, a
  32  * flush is issued and the pending_idx is toggled.  When the flush
  33  * completes, all the requests which were pending are proceeded to the next
  34  * step.  This allows arbitrary merging of different types of FLUSH/FUA
  35  * requests.
  36  *
  37  * Currently, the following conditions are used to determine when to issue
  38  * flush.
  39  *
  40  * C1. At any given time, only one flush shall be in progress.  This makes
  41  *     double buffering sufficient.
  42  *
  43  * C2. Flush is deferred if any request is executing DATA of its sequence.
  44  *     This avoids issuing separate POSTFLUSHes for requests which shared
  45  *     PREFLUSH.
  46  *
  47  * C3. The second condition is ignored if there is a request which has
  48  *     waited longer than FLUSH_PENDING_TIMEOUT.  This is to avoid
  49  *     starvation in the unlikely case where there are continuous stream of
  50  *     FUA (without FLUSH) requests.
  51  *
  52  * For devices which support FUA, it isn't clear whether C2 (and thus C3)
  53  * is beneficial.
  54  *
  55  * Note that a sequenced FLUSH/FUA request with DATA is completed twice.
  56  * Once while executing DATA and again after the whole sequence is
  57  * complete.  The first completion updates the contained bio but doesn't
  58  * finish it so that the bio submitter is notified only after the whole
  59  * sequence is complete.  This is implemented by testing REQ_FLUSH_SEQ in
  60  * req_bio_endio().
  61  *
  62  * The above peculiarity requires that each FLUSH/FUA request has only one
  63  * bio attached to it, which is guaranteed as they aren't allowed to be
  64  * merged in the usual way.
