[PATCH 4.11 091/114] f2fs: Make flush bios explicitely sync

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit 3adc5fcb7edf5f8dfe8d37dcb50ba6b30077c905 upstream.

Commit b685d3d65ac7 "block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous" removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions.  generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions.

Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

Fixes: b685d3d65ac791406e0dfd8779cc9b3707fea5a3
