From 41c383c4965717bbdf4d1e9f609925aa12403152 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Lagerwall Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2023 17:40:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] xen/blkfront: Only check REQ_FUA for writes [ 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.
