    NVMe: Flush with data support · 53562be7
    Keith Busch 提交于
    It is possible a filesystem may send a flush flagged bio with write
    data. There is no such composite NVMe command, so the driver sends flush
    and write separately.
    
    The device is allowed to execute these commands in any order, so it was
    possible the driver ends the bio after the write completes, but while the
    flush is still active. We don't want to let a filesystem believe flush
    succeeded before it really has; this could cause data corruption on a
    power loss between these events. To fix, this patch splits the flush
    and write into chained bios.
