+Subject: [PATCH 3/9] lvm: Add LVM cache logical volume handling
+
+The LVM cache logical volume is the logical volume consisting of the original
+and the cache pool logical volume. The original is usually on a larger and
+slower storage device while the cache pool is on a smaller and faster one. The
+performance of the original volume can be improved by storing the frequently
+used data on the cache pool to utilize the greater performance of faster
+device.
+
+The default cache mode "writethrough" ensures that any data written will be
+stored both in the cache and on the origin LV, therefore grub can be straight
+to read the original lv as no data loss is guarenteed.
+
+The second cache mode is "writeback", which delays writing from the cache pool
+back to the origin LV to have increased performance. The drawback is potential
+data loss if losing the associated cache device.
+
+During the boot time grub reads the LVM offline i.e. LVM volumes are not
+activated and mounted, hence it should be fine to read directly from original
+lv since all cached data should have been flushed back in the process of taking
+it offline.
+
+It is also not much helpful to the situation by adding fsync calls to the
+install code. The fsync did not force to write back dirty cache to the original
+device and rather it would update associated cache metadata to complete the
+write transaction with the cache device. IOW the writes to cached blocks still
+go only to the cache device.
+
+To write back dirty cache, as LVM cache did not support dirty cache flush per
+block range, there'no way to do it for file. On the other hand the "cleaner"
+policy is implemented and can be used to write back "all" dirty blocks in a
+cache, which effectively drain all dirty cache gradually to attain and last in
+the "clean" state, which can be useful for shrinking or decommissioning a
+cache. The result and effect is not what we are looking for here.
+
+In conclusion, as it seems no way to enforce file writes to the original
+device, grub may suffer from power failure as it cannot assemble the cache
+device and read the dirty data from it. However since the case is only
+applicable to writeback mode which is sensitive to data lost in nature, I'd
+still like to propose my (relatively simple) patch and treat reading dirty
+cache as improvement.
