I regret putting the ordering into the original barrier code...it definitely did help reiserfs back in the day but it stinks of magic and voodoo.

I believe, the decision was right, but the flags and magic requests based interface (and, hence, implementation) was wrong. That's it which stinks of magic and voodoo.
