Move the detection of a device FUA support from ata_scsiop_mode_sense()/ata_dev_supports_fua() to device scan time in ata_dev_configure(). The function ata_dev_config_fua() is introduced to detect if a device supports FUA and this support is indicated using the new device flag ATA_DFLAG_FUA. In order to blacklist known buggy devices, the horkage flag ATA_HORKAGE_NO_FUA is introduced. Similarly to other horkage flags, the libata.force= arguments "fua" and "nofua" are also introduced to allow a user to control this horkage flag through the "force" libata module parameter. The ATA_DFLAG_FUA device flag is set only and only if all the following conditions are met: * libata.fua module parameter is set to 1 * The device supports the WRITE DMA FUA EXT command, * The device is not marked with the ATA_HORKAGE_NO_FUA flag, either from the blacklist or set by the user with libata.force=nofua * The device supports NCQ (while this is not mandated by the standards, this restriction is introduced to avoid problems with older non-NCQ devices). Enabling or diabling libata FUA support for all devices can now also be done using the "force=[no]fua" module parameter when libata.fua is set to 1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
