this by comparing the parents parallel fence values and skipping the
parents -> parent's

conflict insertion if the values match.
Presumably, this is to cope with the fact that the parallel submit fences do
not look like regular submission fences. And hence the existing code that
says 'new fence belongs to same context as old fence, so safe to ignore'
does not work with parallel submission. However, this change does not appear
to be adding parallel submit support to an existing 'same context' check. It
seems to be a brand new check that does not exist for single submission.
What makes parallel submit different? If we aren't skipping same context
fences for single submits, why do we need it for parallel? Conversely, if we
need it for parallel then why don't we need it for single?

And if the single submission version is simply somewhere else in the code,
why do the parallel version here instead of at the same place?

John.

Should this not say '&& is_parallel_rq(from)'?

Missed this one. That isn't necessary as if from is not a parallel
submit the following compare of parents will always return false. I
could add if you insist as either way works.

Matt
It was more a question of whether req_to_parent() works fine irrespective of whether the rq is a parent, child or single?

John.
