OK.

I think using bio->bi_private for the virtio_blk pointer would
be cleaner.
I wish I could use bio->bi_private but I am seeing this when using
bio->bi_priate to store virito_blk pointer:

end_bio_bh_io_sync() uses bio->private:
struct buffer_head *bh = bio->bi_private;
+ bool is_flush;
+ bool req_flush;
+ bool req_data;
+ bool req_fua;
This could be a bitmap, or better even a single state field.
Will use a bitmap for now.

+static int virtblk_bio_send_data(struct virtio_blk *vblk,
+ struct virtblk_req *vbr)
These should only get the struct virtblk_req * argument as the virtio_blk
structure is easily derivable from it.
Yes. Will clean it up.

The _vbr naming isn't too nice. Also can you explain why the original
request can't be reused in a comment here
Ah, the original request can be reused. Will fix this.
Also if using a state variable I think the whole code would be
a bit cleaner if the bio_done helpers are combined.
- if (writeback && !use_bio)
+ if (writeback)
blk_queue_flush(vblk->disk->queue, REQ_FLUSH);
Shouldn't this be REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA for the bio case?
Without REQ_FUA, I am also seeing bio with REQ_FUA flag set. Do we need
to set REQ_FUA explicitly?
Btw, did you verify that flushes really work correctly for all cases
using tracing in qemu?
I added some debug code in both kernel and kvm tool to verity the flush.
