Hello, This patchset is combination of the following two patchsets. [1] block, fs: replace HARDBARRIER with FLUSH/FUA [2] block, dm: finish REQ_FLUSH/FUA conversion, take#2 Changes from the previous postings are * Rebased on top of v2.6.36-rc3. * 0010-block-implement-REQ_FLUSH-FUA-based-interface-for-FL.patch description updated to include why special -EOPNOTSUPP handling is no longer necessary as suggested by Mike Snitzer. * 0025-dm-relax-ordering-of-bio-based-flush-implementation.patch description updated to include why flush_error and special error handling logic are no longer necessary as suggested by Mike Snitzer. * 0013-block-initialize-flush-request-with-WRITE_FLUSH-inst.patch and 0014-block-kick-queue-after-sequencing-REQ_FLUSH-FUA.patch added. These fixes aren't strictly required by the current users but remove fishy corner cases. * 0015-block-make-sure-FSEQ_DATA-request-has-the-same-rq_di.patch added. This is needed to make requested based dm work. * 0026-dm-fix-locking-context-in-queue_io.patch added. This fixes locking context problem introduced by 0025-dm-relax-ordering-of-bio-based-flush-implementation.patch. * Tested/Reviewed-by's added and patches reordered such that block layer conversion comes first followed by block driver conversions, filesystem conversions and then finally removal of deprecate stuff. I think the patchset is mostly ready now although I would love to have acked/reviewd-by's on bio-based dm conversion patches. Jens, Christoph, how do you guys wanna steer these patches? I think it would be best to go through the block tree but splitting parts and doing cross tree pull/merges should be doable too.
