[dm-devel] [PATCH 24.5/30] jbd2: Modify ASYNC_COMMIT code to not rely on queue draining on barrier

>From 49f4cef00a1bd3c79fb2fe1f982c5157f0792867 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Jan Kara <jack at suse.cz>

Currently JBD2 relies blkdev_issue_flush() draining the queue when ASYNC_COMMIT
feature is set. This property is going away so make JBD2 wait for buffers it
needs on its own before submitting the cache flush.

This patch is necessary before enabling flush/fua support in jbd2.
The flush-fua git tree has been udpated to included this between patch
24 and 25.

Thanks.
