I don't care particularly about this case, but once it a while people want to disable flushing for testing or because they really don't care. What about adding a sysfs attribue to every request_queue that allows disabling the cache flushing feature? Compared to the barrier option this controls the feature at the right level and makes it available to everyone instead of beeing duplicated. After a while we can then simply ignore the barrier/nobarrier options. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
