From 68db1961bbf4e16c220ccec4a780e966bc1fece3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikanth Karthikesan Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:29:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] loop: support barrier writes Honour barrier requests in the loop back block device driver. In case of barrier bios, flush the backing file once before processing the barrier and once after to guarantee ordering. In case of filesystems that does not support fsync, barrier bios would be failed with -EOPNOTSUPP.
