block: don't allow enabling a cache on devices that don't support it
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently the write_cache attribute allows enabling the QUEUE_FLAG_WC
flag on devices that never claimed the capability.

Fix that by adding a QUEUE_FLAG_HW_WC flag that is set by
blk_queue_write_cache and guards re-enabling the cache through sysfs.

Note that any rescan that calls blk_queue_write_cache will still
re-enable the write cache as in the current code.

Fixes: 93e9d8e ("block: add ability to flag write back caching on a device")
