You only need to add REQ_FLUSH support. The virtio-blk protocol does not support REQ_FUA, because there's no easy way to do it in userspace.A bio-based driver needs to handle both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA as it does not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request based drivers can request. To what the REQ_FUA request gets translated is a different story.
I just sent out V5 to support both REQ_FLUSH AND REQ_FUA. Thanks, Christoph! -- Asias
