From: Mike Snitzer bio-based DM was changed to work-around the previously misplaced next_ordered check with this commit: 99360b4c18f7675b50d283301d46d755affe75fd request-based DM does not yet support barriers but reacted to the above bio-based DM change with this commit: 5d67aa2366ccb8257d103d0b43df855605c3c086 The above changes are no longer needed given Neil Brown's recent fix to put the next_ordered check in the __make_request path: db64f680ba4b5c56c4be59f0698000df89ff0281 This patch removes DM's bio-based vs request-based conditional setting of next_ordered. For bio-based DM the next_ordered check is no longer a concern (as that check is now in the __make_request path). For request-based DM the default of QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE is now appropriate.
