--- Comment #1 from Tom Yan <[email protected]> --- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16490#c8 The question is, why are we even using "write through" as fallback when if it can be dangerous? What's wrong with using "write back" as fallback instead? Would a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command ever be a threat to devices without write cache or caching mode page? https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b81478d82e389dd0961760f5ff6f56b50d29db6d https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=eaa05dfcdb12cf3a7bedf8918dc8699c00944384 Seems like we consider "write back" an safer option everywhere else but we just somehow require users to use a quirk to switch to that for no reason. This just looks silly to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
