[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 01/11] nbd: Use BDRV_REQ_FUA for better FUA where supported

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

Rather than always flushing ourselves, let the block layer
forward the FUA on to the underlying device - where all
underlying layers also understand FUA, we are now more
efficient; and where any underlying layer doesn't understand
it, now the block layer takes care of the full flush fallback
on our behalf.
