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.
