There was the report of strange behavior of device with recent
blkdev_issue_flush() position change.
The following is simplified usbmon trace.
4203 9.160230 host -> 1.25.1 USBMS 95 SCSI: Synchronize Cache(10) LUN: 0x00 (LBA: 0x00000000, Len: 0)
4206 9.164911 1.25.1 -> host USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Synchronize Cache(10)) (Good)
4207 9.323927 host -> 1.25.1 USBMS 95 SCSI: Read(10) LUN: 0x00 (LBA: 0x00279950, Len: 240)
4212 9.327138 1.25.1 -> host USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Read(10)) (Good)
[...]
7323 10.202167 host -> 1.25.1 USBMS 95 SCSI: Synchronize Cache(10) LUN: 0x00 (LBA: 0x00000000, Len: 0)
7326 10.432266 1.25.1 -> host USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Synchronize Cache(10)) (Good)
7327 10.769092 host -> 1.25.1 USBMS 95 SCSI: Test Unit Ready LUN: 0x00
7330 10.769192 1.25.1 -> host USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Test Unit Ready) (Good)
7335 12.849093 host -> 1.25.1 USBMS 95 SCSI: Test Unit Ready LUN: 0x00
7338 12.849206 1.25.1 -> host USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Test Unit Ready) (Check Condition)
7339 12.849209 host -> 1.25.1 USBMS 95 SCSI: Request Sense LUN: 0x00
If "Synchronize Cache" command issued then there is idle time, the
device stop to process further commands, and behave as like no media.
(it returns NOT_READY [MEDIUM NOT PRESENT] for SENSE command, and this
happened on Kindle) [just a guess, the device is trying to detect the
"safe-unplug" operation of Windows or such?]
To workaround those devices and provide flexibility, this adds
"barrier"/"nobarrier" mount options to fat driver.
