Hi,
Le Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:48:18 +0900,
"Kyungmin Park" <kmpark@infradead.org> a écrit :

> + bio->bi_rw |= (1 << BIO_RW_SYNC);
Adding BIO_RW_SYNC doesn't make generic_make_request() synchronous as
in "generic_make_request() returns only after write completion".
BIO_RW_SYNC only asks the I/O layer to unplug immediatly. But
generic_make_request() still returns before the completion of the I/O,
and the completion is notified asynchronously.
See:

Sincerly,
Thomas
