[PATCH 1/2] scsi: core: Introduce the BLIST_BROKEN_FUA flag

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



UFS devices perform better when using SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command instead of
the FUA flag. Introduce the BLIST_BROKEN_FUA flag for using SYNCHRONIZE
CACHE instead of FUA.

The BLIST_BROKEN_FUA flag can be set by using one of the following
approaches:
* From user space, by writing into /proc/scsi/device_info.
* From the kernel, by setting sdev_bflags from the slave_alloc callback.
