/*
* Functions to sequence FLUSH and FUA writes.

+ * Copyright (C) 2011 Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics

+ *
+ * This file is released under the GPLv2.
+ *
+ * REQ_{FLUSH|FUA} requests are decomposed to sequences consisted of three
+ * optional steps - PREFLUSH, DATA and POSTFLUSH - according to the request
+ * properties and hardware capability.
+ *
+ * If a request doesn't have data, only REQ_FLUSH makes sense, which
+ * indicates a simple flush request. If there is data, REQ_FLUSH indicates
+ * that the device cache should be flushed before the data is executed, and
+ * REQ_FUA means that the data must be on non-volatile media on request
+ * completion.
+ *
+ * If the device doesn't have writeback cache, FLUSH and FUA don't make any
+ * difference. The requests are either completed immediately if there's no
+ * data or executed as normal requests otherwise.
+ *
+ * If the device has writeback cache and supports FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
+ * translated to PREFLUSH but REQ_FUA is passed down directly with DATA.
+ *
+ * If the device has writeback cache and doesn't support FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
+ * translated to PREFLUSH and REQ_FUA to POSTFLUSH.
+ *
+ * The actual execution of flush is double buffered. Whenever a request
+ * needs to execute PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues at
+ * q->flush_queue[q->flush_pending_idx]. Once certain criteria are met, a
+ * flush is issued and the pending_idx is toggled. When the flush
+ * completes, all the requests which were pending are proceeded to the next
+ * step. This allows arbitrary merging of different types of FLUSH/FUA
+ * requests.
+ *
+ * Currently, the following conditions are used to determine when to issue
+ * flush.
+ *
+ * C1. At any given time, only one flush shall be in progress. This makes
+ * double buffering sufficient.
+ *
+ * C2. Flush is deferred if any request is executing DATA of its sequence.
+ * This avoids issuing separate POSTFLUSHes for requests which shared
+ * PREFLUSH.
+ *
+ * C3. The second condition is ignored if there is a request which has
+ * waited longer than FLUSH_PENDING_TIMEOUT. This is to avoid
+ * starvation in the unlikely case where there are continuous stream of
+ * FUA (without FLUSH) requests.
+ *
+ * For devices which support FUA, it isn't clear whether C2 (and thus C3)
+ * is beneficial.
+ *
+ * Note that a sequenced FLUSH/FUA request with DATA is completed twice.
+ * Once while executing DATA and again after the whole sequence is
+ * complete. The first completion updates the contained bio but doesn't
+ * finish it so that the bio submitter is notified only after the whole
+ * sequence is complete. This is implemented by testing REQ_FLUSH_SEQ in
+ * req_bio_endio().
+ *
+ * The above peculiarity requires that each FLUSH/FUA request has only one
+ * bio attached to it, which is guaranteed as they aren't allowed to be
+ * merged in the usual way.
