It receives what it's set in dm_flush and __clone_and_map_empty_barrier.

bio is standard zero barrier with set bi_bdev and bi_rw. 
tio->info.flush_request is the sequence number of the request. (typical 
devices require just one request, dm_stripe asks for several requests for 
each striped device).
