I am not a big fan of this name as "pipeline" does not necessarily imply "high
queue depth write". What about simply calling this
QUEUE_FLAG_NO_ZONE_WRITE_LOCK, indicating that there is no need to write-lock
zones ?

Hi Damien,

I'm not a big fan of names with negative words like "no" or "not" embedded.
Isn't pipelining standard computer science terminology? See also

Thanks,

Bart.
