From 8430f9772f9ac305211f177b0fa56a312175da11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fengguang Wu Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 15:23:07 +0200 Subject: block: remove plugging at buffered write time Buffered write(2) is not directly tied to IO, so it's not suitable to handle plug in generic_file_aio_write(). Note that plugging for O_SYNC writes is also removed. The user may pass arbitrary @size arguments, which may be much larger than the preferable I/O size, or may cross extent/device boundaries. Let the lower layers handle the plugging. The plugging code here actually turns them into no-ops.
