From 1e87901e189c8f01750d67485009fe3827c691bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 11:56:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: filter flush bio's in __generic_make_request() There are a number of make_request based drivers which don't support cache flushes. Filter out flush bio's in __generic_make_request() so that they don't have to worry about them. All FLUSH/FUA requests with data are converted to regular IO requests and empty ones are completed immediately.
