The flush state machine use a double list to link all inflight flush_data requests, to avoid issuing separate post-flushes for these flush_data requests which shared PREFLUSH. So we can't reuse rq->queuelist, this is why we need rq->flush.list In preparation of the next patch that reuse rq->queuelist for flush state machine, we change the double linked list to unsigned long counter, which count all inflight flush_data requests. This is ok since we only need to know if there is any inflight flush_data request, so unsigned long counter is good.

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.
