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.
