	[ Upstream commit 9b5948267adc9e689da609eb61cf7ed49cae5fa8 ] With external metadata device, flush requests are not passed down to the data device. Fix this by submitting the flush request in dm_integrity_flush_buffers. In order to not degrade performance, we overlap the data device flush with the metadata device flush.

2018-04-03	dm bufio: move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/	Mikulas Patocka	1	-0/+148
	Move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/ so that external GPL'd DM target modules can use it. It is better to allow the use of dm-bufio than force external modules to implement the equivalent buffered IO mechanism in some new way. The hope is this will encourage the use of dm-bufio; which will then make it easier for a GPL'd external DM target module to be included upstream. A couple dm-bufio EXPORT_SYMBOL exports have also been updated to use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
