This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists,
change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-
bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  SRU: Add FUA support for XFS

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU justification:

  [Impact]

  This 4 patch set adds backported support for Forced Unit Access (FUA)
  on XFS file systems to the 18.04 (Bionic) GA (4.15) kernel. FUA on XFS
  was added upstream in 4.18.

  FUA on XFS is important for SQL server work loads.

  [Test Plan]
  SQLIOSIM (a package from Microsoft) was used to test performance 
improvements. Tests were run with an XFS file system mounted on a persistent 
memory block device (PMEM) partition. Performance metrics were found to exhibit 
satisfactory improvement gains from the GA kernel.

  [Where problems could occur]

  Well, these are patches to file system code. They _could_ cause
  widespread corruption. However, multiple test passes with sqliosim
  exhibited no issues.

  [Other Info]

  See attached sqliosim.cfg.ini configuration file for test run
  parameters.
