Hello, This is the second take of block-dm-finish-REQ_FLUSH-FUA-conversion. I've put patches on top of the previous patches for easier review. The series can be trivially reordered so that the order is more logical. Jens, please let me know if you want it to be reordered. The dm conversion is _lightly_ tested. Please proceed with caution. Let's hold off merging these bits until dm people can verify the conversion is correct. 0001-block-make-__blk_rq_prep_clone-copy-most-command-fla.patch 0002-dm-implement-REQ_FLUSH-FUA-support-for-bio-based-dm.patch 0003-dm-relax-ordering-of-bio-based-flush-implementation.patch 0004-dm-implement-REQ_FLUSH-FUA-support-for-request-based.patch 0005-block-remove-the-WRITE_BARRIER-flag.patch Differences from the previous attempt[1] are, * bio-based dm and requested-based dm patches are split. 0002-0003 convert bio-based dm and 0004 converts requested-based dm. * The previous requested based dm conversion was broken in the way requests are sequenced. This patch rips out special multi-target handling for flushes and handles flushes the same way other requests are handled. This patchset is on top of "block, fs: replace HARDBARRIER with FLUSH/FUA" patchset[2] and available in the following git tree git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git flush-fua and contains the following changes. block/blk-core.c | 4 drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-io.c | 20 -- drivers/md/dm-log.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-raid1.c | 8 drivers/md/dm-region-hash.c | 16 - drivers/md/dm-snap-persistent.c | 2 drivers/md/dm-snap.c | 6 drivers/md/dm-stripe.c | 2 drivers/md/dm.c | 394 ++++++++-------------------------------- include/linux/blk_types.h | 1 include/linux/fs.h | 3 12 files changed, 104 insertions(+), 356 deletions(-) Thanks. -- tejun [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.raid/29344 [2] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1022363 -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
