    block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush() · 4913efe4
    Tejun Heo authored
    Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
    requests.  Deprecate barrier.  All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
    -EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
    blk_queue_flush().
    
    blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA.  If a
    device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH.  If
    the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.
    
    All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.
    
    * ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
    * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
    * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.
