Subject: block: filter flush bio's in __generic_make_request()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e87901e189c8f01750d67485009fe3827c691bf;p=linux-beck.git

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.
