Add flag returned by FUSE_OPEN and FUSE_CREATE requests to avoid flushing data cache on close. Different filesystems implement ->flush() is different ways: - Most disk filesystems do not implement ->flush() at all - Some network filesystem (e.g. nfs) flush local write cache of FMODE_WRITE file and send a "flush" command to server - Some network filesystem (e.g. cifs) flush local write cache of FMODE_WRITE file without sending an additional command to server FUSE flushes local write cache of ANY file, even non FMODE_WRITE and sends a "flush" command to server (if server implements it). The FUSE implementation of ->flush() seems over agressive and arbitrary and does not make a lot of sense when writeback caching is disabled. Instead of deciding on another arbitrary implementation that makes sense, leave the choice of per-file flush behavior in the hands of the server.

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.
