Subject: [PATCH 1/2] zloop: advertise a volatile write cache
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:21:44 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224142153.368472-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224142153.368472-1-hch@lst.de>
Zloop is file system backed and thus needs to sync the underlying file
system to persist data. Set BLK_FEAT_WRITE_CACHE so that the block
layer actually send flush commands, and fix the flush implementation
as sync_filesystem requires s_umount to be held and the code currently
misses that.
Fixes: eb0570c7df23 ("block: new zoned loop block device driver")
