[PATCH 23/30] nilfs2: replace barriers with explicit flush / FUA usage

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Date: 2010-08-25 15:47:40
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-ide, linux-scsi, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), nilfs2 filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Ryusuke Konishi, Viacheslav Dubeyko, Linus Torvalds

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

Switch to the WRITE_FLUSH_FUA flag for log writes, remove the EOPNOTSUPP
detection for barriers and stop setting the barrier flag for discards.

tj: nilfs is now fixed to wait for discard completion.  Updated this
    patch accordingly and dropped warning about it.
