Subject: [PATCH 4.14 09/32] xen/blkfront: Only check REQ_FUA for writes
Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2023 12:28:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230619102127.982252934@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230619102127.461443957@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@citrix.com>
[ Upstream commit b6ebaa8100090092aa602530d7e8316816d0c98d ]
The existing code silently converts read operations with the
REQ_FUA bit set into write-barrier operations. This results in data
loss as the backend scribbles zeroes over the data instead of returning
it.
While the REQ_FUA bit doesn't make sense on a read operation, at least
one well-known out-of-tree kernel module does set it and since it
results in data loss, let's be safe here and only look at REQ_FUA for
writes.
