Subject: [PATCH 06/17] block: don't set REQ_NOMERGE unnecessarily
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:28:49 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1237170540-19130-7-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1237170540-19130-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org>

Impact: cleanup

RQ_NOMERGE_FLAGS already clears defines which REQ flags aren't
mergeable.  There is no reason to specify it superflously.  It only
adds to confusion.  Don't set REQ_NOMERGE for barriers and requests
with specific queueing directive.  REQ_NOMERGE is now exclusively used
by the merging code.
