   8 *
   9 * REQ_{FLUSH|FUA} requests are decomposed to sequences consisted of three
  10 * optional steps - PREFLUSH, DATA and POSTFLUSH - according to the request
  11 * properties and hardware capability.
  12 *
  13 * If a request doesn't have data, only REQ_FLUSH makes sense, which
  14 * indicates a simple flush request.  If there is data, REQ_FLUSH indicates
  15 * that the device cache should be flushed before the data is executed, and
  16 * REQ_FUA means that the data must be on non-volatile media on request
  17 * completion.
  18 *
  19 * If the device doesn't have writeback cache, FLUSH and FUA don't make any
  20 * difference.  The requests are either completed immediately if there's no
  21 * data or executed as normal requests otherwise.
  22 *
  23 * If the device has writeback cache and supports FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
  24 * translated to PREFLUSH but REQ_FUA is passed down directly with DATA.
  25 *
  26 * If the device has writeback cache and doesn't support FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
  27 * translated to PREFLUSH and REQ_FUA to POSTFLUSH.
  28 *
  29 * The actual execution of flush is double buffered.  Whenever a request
  30 * needs to execute PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues at
  31 * q->flush_queue[q->flush_pending_idx].  Once certain criteria are met, a
  32 * flush is issued and the pending_idx is toggled.  When the flush
  33 * completes, all the requests which were pending are proceeded to the next
  34 * step.  This allows arbitrary merging of different types of FLUSH/FUA
  35 * requests.
  36 *
  37 * Currently, the following conditions are used to determine when to issue
  38 * flush.
  39 *
  40 * C1. At any given time, only one flush shall be in progress.  This makes
  41 *     double buffering sufficient.
  42 *
  43 * C2. Flush is deferred if any request is executing DATA of its sequence.
  44 *     This avoids issuing separate POSTFLUSHes for requests which shared
  45 *     PREFLUSH.
  46 *
  47 * C3. The second condition is ignored if there is a request which has
  48 *     waited longer than FLUSH_PENDING_TIMEOUT.  This is to avoid
  49 *     starvation in the unlikely case where there are continuous stream of
  50 *     FUA (without FLUSH) requests.
  51 *
  52 * For devices which support FUA, it isn't clear whether C2 (and thus C3)
  53 * is beneficial.
  54 *
  55 * Note that a sequenced FLUSH/FUA request with DATA is completed twice.
  56 * Once while executing DATA and again after the whole sequence is
  57 * complete.  The first completion updates the contained bio but doesn't
  58 * finish it so that the bio submitter is notified only after the whole
  59 * sequence is complete.  This is implemented by testing REQ_FLUSH_SEQ in
  60 * req_bio_endio().
  61 *
  62 * The above peculiarity requires that each FLUSH/FUA request has only one
  63 * bio attached to it, which is guaranteed as they aren't allowed to be
  64 * merged in the usual way.
