Actually it should be both. REQ_OP_FLUSH for a real flush operation, and a REQ_PREFLUSH bio flag that the request layer will sequence into an actual write an a flush operation. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
