From 3a5e02ced11e22ecd9da3d6710afe15bcfee1d10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Christie Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2016 14:32:23 -0500 Subject: block, drivers: add REQ_OP_FLUSH operation This adds a REQ_OP_FLUSH operation that is sent to request_fn based drivers by the block layer's flush code, instead of sending requests with the request->cmd_flags REQ_FLUSH bit set.
