[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Milan Broz <[email protected]>

Disable barriers in dm-crypt because of current workqueue processing can
reorder requests.

This must be addresed later but for now disabling barriers is needed to
prevent data corruption.
