Nice. I'm working on a properly split patchset implementing REQ_FLUSH/FUA based interface, which replaces REQ_HARDBARRIER. Empty request w/ REQ_FLUSH just flushes cache but has no other ordering restrictions. REQ_FLUSH + data means preflush + data write. REQ_FUA + data means data would be committed to NV media on completion. REQ_FLUSH + FUA + data means preflush + NV data write. All FLUSH/FUA requests w/ data are ordered only against each other. I think I'll be able to post in several days.
