Jens Axboe 53d63e6b0d block: make the flush insertion use the tail of the dispatch list
It's not a preempt type request, in fact we have to insert it
behind requests that do specify INSERT_FRONT.

/*
* Functions to sequence FLUSH and FUA writes.
*
* Copyright (C) 2011 Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics

*
* This file is released under the GPLv2.
*
* REQ_{FLUSH|FUA} requests are decomposed to sequences consisted of three
* optional steps - PREFLUSH, DATA and POSTFLUSH - according to the request
* properties and hardware capability.
*
* If a request doesn't have data, only REQ_FLUSH makes sense, which
* indicates a simple flush request. If there is data, REQ_FLUSH indicates
* that the device cache should be flushed before the data is executed, and
* REQ_FUA means that the data must be on non-volatile media on request
* completion.
*
* If the device doesn't have writeback cache, FLUSH and FUA don't make any
* difference. The requests are either completed immediately if there's no
* data or executed as normal requests otherwise.
*
* If the device has writeback cache and supports FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
* translated to PREFLUSH but REQ_FUA is passed down directly with DATA.
*
* If the device has writeback cache and doesn't support FUA, REQ_FLUSH is
* translated to PREFLUSH and REQ_FUA to POSTFLUSH.
*
* The actual execution of flush is double buffered. Whenever a request
* needs to execute PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues at
* q->flush_queue[q->flush_pending_idx]. Once certain criteria are met, a
* flush is issued and the pending_idx is toggled. When the flush
* completes, all the requests which were pending are proceeded to the next
* step. This allows arbitrary merging of different types of FLUSH/FUA
* requests.
*
* Currently, the following conditions are used to determine when to issue
* flush.
*
* C1. At any given time, only one flush shall be in progress. This makes
* double buffering sufficient.
*
* C2. Flush is deferred if any request is executing DATA of its sequence.
* This avoids issuing separate POSTFLUSHes for requests which shared
* PREFLUSH.
*
* C3. The second condition is ignored if there is a request which has
* waited longer than FLUSH_PENDING_TIMEOUT. This is to avoid
* starvation in the unlikely case where there are continuous stream of
* FUA (without FLUSH) requests.
*
* For devices which support FUA, it isn't clear whether C2 (and thus C3)
* is beneficial.
*
* Note that a sequenced FLUSH/FUA request with DATA is completed twice.
* Once while executing DATA and again after the whole sequence is
* complete. The first completion updates the contained bio but doesn't
* finish it so that the bio submitter is notified only after the whole
* sequence is complete. This is implemented by testing REQ_FLUSH_SEQ in
* req_bio_endio().
*
* The above peculiarity requires that each FLUSH/FUA request has only one
* bio attached to it, which is guaranteed as they aren't allowed to be
* merged in the usual way.
