allow blk_flush_policy to return REQ_FSEQ_DATA independent of *FLUSH
blk_insert_flush has the following check:
/*
* If there's data but flush is not necessary, the request can be
* processed directly without going through flush machinery. Queue
* for normal execution.
*/
if ((policy & REQ_FSEQ_DATA) &&
!(policy & (REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH))) {
list_add_tail(&rq->queuelist, &q->queue_head);
return;
}
However, blk_flush_policy will not return with policy set to only
REQ_FSEQ_DATA:
static unsigned int blk_flush_policy(unsigned int fflags, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int policy = 0;
if (fflags & REQ_FLUSH) {
if (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH)
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH;
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq))
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_DATA;
if (!(fflags & REQ_FUA) && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA))
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH;
}
return policy;
}
Notice that REQ_FSEQ_DATA is only set if REQ_FLUSH is set. Fix this
mismatch by moving the setting of REQ_FSEQ_DATA outside of the REQ_FLUSH
check.
Tejun notes:
Hmmm... yes, this can become a correctness issue if (and only if)
blk_queue_flush() is called to change q->flush_flags while requests
are in-flight; otherwise, requests wouldn't reach the function at all.
Also, I think it would be a generally good idea to always set
FSEQ_DATA if the request has data.
Cheers,
Jeff
