From 93e9d8e836cb1a9a58b33eb6643bf061c6119ef2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2016 12:32:46 -0600 Subject: block: add ability to flag write back caching on a device Add an internal helper and flag for setting whether a queue has write back caching, or write through (or none). Add a sysfs file to show this as well, and make it changeable from user space. This will replace the (awkward) blk_queue_flush() interface that drivers currently use to inform the block layer of write cache state and capabilities.
