Commit- " 02b01e0 [SCSI] megaraid_sas: return sync cache call with success"
added the code in driver to return SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE without sending it to
firmware back in 2007. Earlier MR was mainly for Virtual Disk,
so same code continue for JBOD as well whenever JBOD support was added and it introduced bug that
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE is not passed to FW for JBOD (non Raid disk).
But our recent analysis indicates that, From Day-1 MR Firmware always
expect Driver to forward SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE for JBOD (non Raid disk) to the
Firmware.
We have fixed this as part of this patch.
