block: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA based interface for FLUSH/FUA requests
Now that the backend conversion is complete, export sequenced
FLUSH/FUA capability through REQ_FLUSH/FUA flags. REQ_FLUSH means the
device cache should be flushed before executing the request. REQ_FUA
means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on
completion.
Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics
and execute it. The request may be passed to the device directly if
the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or
more proxy requests. Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA
which it doesn't support.
Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are
never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. If the underlying device doesn't
support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop. IOW, it no
longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support
cache flush and writethrough/no cache. Devices which have WB cache
w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing
much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to
implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling. This will simplify filesystems and
block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers.
* QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into
blk-flush.c.
* REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without
sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't
have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use
of proxy requests.
* REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are
copied from bio to request.
* WRITE_BARRIER is marked deprecated and WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA and
WRITE_FLUSH_FUA are added.
