3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d2bdbee0d91a5d3ba2e439ce889e20bfe6fd4f1b upstream.
This patch fixes a regression bug introduced in v3.9-rc1 where if the
underlying struct block_device for a IBLOCK backend is configured with
WCE=1 + DPOFUA=1 settings, the rw = WRITE assignment no longer occurs
in iblock_execute_rw(), and rw = 0 is passed to iblock_submit_bios()
in effect causing a READ bio operation to occur.
The offending commit is:
commit d0c8b259f8970d39354c1966853363345d401330
Author: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Jan 29 22:10:06 2013 -0800
target/iblock: Use backend REQ_FLUSH hint for WriteCacheEnabled status
Note the WCE=1 + DPOFUA=0, WCE=0 + DPOFUA=1, and WCE=0 + DPOFUA=0 cases
are not affected by this regression bug.
