There was a few false alarms sighted on target side about wrong data digest while performing high throughput load to XFS filesystem shared through NVMoF TCP. This flag tells the rest of the kernel to ensure that the data buffer does not change while the write is in flight. It incurs a performance penalty, so only enable it when it is actually needed, i.e. when we are calculating data digests. Although even with this change in place, ext2 users can steel experience false positives, as ext2 is not respecting this flag. This may be apply to vfat as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
