Subject: [PATCH v12 09/14] block: modify the comment for BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH flag
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 21:13:38 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1603390423-980205-10-git-send-email-andrey.shinkevich@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1603390423-980205-1-git-send-email-andrey.shinkevich@virtuozzo.com>
Modify the comment for the flag BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH as we are going to
use it alone and pass it to the COR-filter driver for further
processing.
