From 34951f5cb72b1e3a89a21581cb21e2d5b6a104a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 15:06:44 +0000 Subject: xfs: flag all buffers as metadata Now that REQ_META bios aren't treated specially in the CFQ I/O schedule anymore, we can tag all buffers as metadata to make blktrace traces more meaningful. Note that we use buffers also to zero out partial blocks in the preallocation / hole punching code, and while they operate on data blocks the zeros written certainly aren't data. I think this case is borderline metadata enough to not bother special casing it.
