[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 063/100] Btrfs: disable FUA if mounted with nobarrier

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sun Jan 28 2018 - 18:05:02 EST


From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1b9e619c5bc8235cfba3dc4ced2fb0e3554a05d4 ]

I was seeing disk flushes still happening when I mounted a Btrfs
filesystem with nobarrier for testing. This is because we use FUA to
write out the first super block, and on devices without FUA support, the
block layer translates FUA to a flush. Even on devices supporting true
FUA, using FUA when we asked for no barriers is surprising.
