From deeb5912db12e8b7ccf3f4b1afaad60bc29abed9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:12:18 +1000 Subject: [XFS] Disable queue flag test in barrier check. md raid1 can pass down barriers, but does not set an ordered flag on the queue, so xfs does not even attempt a barrier write, and will never use barriers on these block devices. Remove the flag check and just let the barrier write test determine barrier support. A possible risk here is that if something does not set an ordered flag and also does not properly return an error on a barrier write... but if it's any consolation jbd/ext3/reiserfs never test the flag, and don't even do a test write, they just disable barriers the first time an actual journal barrier write fails.
