I'm not sure what the original 'loop-barrier2' patch does or if it is really needed.
cat loop-barriers |head -n 15 From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Subject: [PATCH] loop: add support for O_SYNC References: 189051 Patch-mainline: never - this is a temporary band-aid for SLES10 This patch adds support for O_SYNC to the block loop device. When the backing file is opened with O_SYNC, the loop device will sync writes before returning successful. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> cat loop-barriers2 |head -n 15 From: kraxel@suse.de Subject: Make the loop driver handle barrier requests. Patch-mainline: no Make the loop driver handle sync and barrier requests correctly. Depends on loop-barrier patch.
It hasn't been pushed to mainline, which is a sign that it isn't so important.
oh,i think there is MUCH important kernel stuff around which is NOT in mainline. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
