Rodney, this was actually my original intention, however then I noticed in
the GEOM code there is at least one case when BIO_FLUSH request is being
generated internally with bio_offset == mediasize and bio_lenth == 0, so I
thought there might be some need to allow such requests through. But I'd
happily go with the stricter rule if it does no harm. I simply don't know
enough about the intended use and the logic behind zero-length transfers to
make that call.
-Max
int
g_io_flush(struct g_consumer *cp)
{
...
bp = g_alloc_bio();
bp->bio_cmd = BIO_FLUSH;
...
bp->bio_offset = cp->provider->mediasize;
bp->bio_length = 0;
bp->bio_data = NULL;
g_io_request(bp, cp);
...
}
