From 6cafb12dc85a5bdc722791cc5070968413264909 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark McLoughlin Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:14:31 +0200 Subject: block: silently error unsupported empty barriers too With 2.6.32-rc5 in a KVM guest using dm and virtio_blk, we see the following errors: end_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 0 The errors go away if dm stops submitting empty barriers, by reverting: commit 52b1fd5a27c625c78373e024bf570af3c9d44a79 Author: Mikulas Patocka dm: send empty barriers to targets in dm_flush We should silently error all barriers, even empty barriers, on devices like virtio_blk which don't support them.
