--- Begin Message ---Package: kernel-source-2.6.8 Version: 2.6.8-16sarge2 Severity: normal Tags: patch In kernel.org 2.6.8, the block layer (drivers/block/ioctl.c) has: case BLKFLSBUF: if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) return -EACCES; if (disk->fops->ioctl) { ret = disk->fops->ioctl(inode, file, cmd, arg); if (ret != -EINVAL) return ret; } fsync_bdev(bdev); invalidate_bdev(bdev, 0); return 0; So, fsync_bdev()/invalidate_bdev() are only called if ret == -EINVAL. In pristine 2.6.8, cciss returned -EBADRQC, so these functions were never called. In 2.6.9, the block layer was modified to also accept -ENOTTY: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commitdiff;h=b295216702a8fb86ef8e3951df9d7118746e35c7 So, in 2.6.10-rc4, the only fix needed was to make cciss return -ENOTTY, which is what Mike submitted. http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commitdiff;h=d28d721eb3f7df904fb1533d314879da33f9b50a Since 2.6.8 didn't accept -ENOTTY, simply backporting this fix wasn't enough to fix the bug in 2.6.8, we also need the block layer changeset. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: ia64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-mckinley-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages kernel-source-2.6.8 depends on: ii binutils 2.15-6 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.2-7 high-quality block-sorting file co ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities -- no debconf information
