Subject: [PATCH] block: remove plugging at buffered write time
Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2012 19:01:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120208110143.GA5550@localhost> (raw)

Buffered write(2) is not directly tied to IO, so it's not suitable to
handle plug in generic_file_aio_write().

Also remove the redundant plug calls around ->direct_IO(), since we now
do unplugging in the lower layer do_blockdev_direct_IO().
