xfs: Always flush caches when integrity is required
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There is no reason anymore for not issuing device integrity
operations when teh filesystem requires ordering or data integrity
guarantees. We should always issue cache flushes and FUA writes
where necessary and let the underlying storage optimise them as
necessary for correct integrity operation.
