I'm not sure what you mean. tgtd doesn't write data to disk. When scsi_tgt_cmd_done calls scsi_unmap_user_pages (via queue_work), we start to commit dirty pages to disk; __bio_unmap_user set pages dirty. When the dirty bit of all the pages is cleared, the data is committed safely. LLDs could check it, I think. If the write cache of backing store is enabled, we more tricks though. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
