From ab4c1424882be9cd70b89abf2b484add355712fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 03:05:09 +0000 Subject: dm: support barriers on simple devices Implement barrier support for single device DM devices This patch implements barrier support in DM for the common case of dm linear just remapping a single underlying device. In this case we can safely pass the barrier through because there can be no reordering between devices. NB. Any DM device might cease to support barriers if it gets reconfigured so code must continue to allow for a possible -EOPNOTSUPP on every barrier bio submitted. - agk Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon --- drivers/md/dm-linear.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'drivers/md/dm-linear.c') diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-linear.c b/drivers/md/dm-linear.c index 79fb53e51c70..bfa107f59d96 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm-linear.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-linear.c @@ -142,6 +142,7 @@ static struct target_type linear_target = { .status = linear_status, .ioctl = linear_ioctl, .merge = linear_merge, + .features = DM_TARGET_SUPPORTS_BARRIERS, }; int __init dm_linear_init(void) -- cgit v1.2.2
