Re: block_device usage and incorrect block writes

created struct request. We have modified block/ll_rw_blk.c:__make_request() to 1) not merge requests and to 2) add the REQ_SOFTBARRIER flag to the new request's cmd_flags field. Is there a more modular way for a function to create a new request with a soft barrier? thanks again, -- C
