The recent journal flush/FUA changes replaced the flushing of the
data device on every iclog write with an up-front async data device
cache flush. Unfortunately, the assumption of which this was based
on has been proven incorrect by the flush vs log tail update
ordering issue. As the fix for that issue uses the
XLOG_ICL_NEED_FLUSH flag to indicate that data device needs a cache
flush, we now need to (once again) ensure that an iclog write to
external logs that need a cache flush to be issued actually issue a
cache flush to the data device as well as the log device.

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.
