[PATCH 3/3] ext4: Deprecate barrier= and nobarrier mount options

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As part of migrating the FLUSH/FUA knob to the block layer, remove the support
code for the barrier-related mount options and remove the conditionals around
flushes in favor of always issuing the flush.  The block layer will handle
gracefully the situation where a FLUSH or FUA request is issued to a device
that doesn't support it.  Modify the option parsing code to print a warning if
someone tries to use the old mount option.

Note: The nobarrier bit in the default mount flags is now useless.
