[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm_crypt: Issue all previous bios before remapping barrier bio

[Nikanth Karthikesan]

Before remapping a barrier bio, make sure that there are no un-issued
pending I/O in the workqueue. Otherwise a dm_flush would simply add
a barrier request to the underlying device, without issuing the bio's
queued in the dm_crypt device.
