BLK_QUEUE_ORDERED(9) Block Devices BLK_QUEUE_ORDERED(9)
NAME
blk_queue_ordered - does this queue support ordered writes
SYNOPSIS
int blk_queue_ordered(struct request_queue * q, unsigned ordered, prepare_flush_fn * prepare_flush_fn);
ARGUMENTS
q
the request queue
ordered
one of QUEUE_ORDERED_*
prepare_flush_fn

DESCRIPTION
For journalled file systems, doing ordered writes on a commit block instead of explicitly doing wait_on_buffer (which is bad for
performance) can be a big win. Block drivers supporting this feature should call this function and indicate so.
