dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for request-based dm
This patch converts request-based dm to support the new REQ_FLUSH/FUA. The original request-based flush implementation depended on request_queue blocking other requests while a barrier sequence is in progress, which is no longer true for the new REQ_FLUSH/FUA. In general, request-based dm doesn't have infrastructure for cloning one source request to multiple targets, but the original flush implementation had a special mostly independent path which can issue flushes to multiple targets and sequence them. However, the capability isn't currently in use and adds a lot of complexity. Moreoever, it's unlikely to be useful in its current form as it doesn't make sense to be able to send out flushes to multiple targets when write requests can't be. This patch rips out special flush code path and deals handles REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests the same way as other requests. The only special treatment is that REQ_FLUSH requests use the block address 0 when finding target, which is enough for now. * added BUG_ON(!dm_target_is_valid(ti)) in dm_request_fn() as suggested by Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: NMike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Tested-by: NKiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@ct.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
