Subject: [RFC]block: don't mark flush request as SOFTBARRIER
Date: Thu, 08 Sep 2011 09:29:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1315445394.29510.71.camel@sli10-conroe> (raw)

I'm wondering why flush request should be marked as SOFTBARRIER. Current flush
sequence guarantees the correctness of flush even the request is reordered by
ioscheduler.
