3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kent Overstreet <k...@daterainc.com>
commit c0f04d88e46d14de51f4baebb6efafb7d59e9f96 upstream.
In writeback mode, when we get a cache flush we need to make sure we
issue a flush to the backing device.
The code for sending down an extra flush was wrong - by cloning the bio
we were probably getting flags that didn't make sense for a bare flush,
and also the old code was firing for FUA bios, for which we don't need
to send a flush to the backing device.
This was causing data corruption somehow - the mechanism was never
determined, but this patch fixes it for the users that were seeing it.
