3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ching Huang <ching2048@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2bf7dc8443e113844d078fd6541b7f4aa544f92f upstream. The arcmsr driver failed to pass SYNCHRONIZE CACHE to controller firmware. Depending on how drive caches are handled internally by controller firmware this could potentially lead to data integrity problems. Ensure that cache flushes are passed to the controller.
