[dm-devel] [PATCH 4/17] bottom-layer barrier support

[Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka redhat com>]

dm-dont-report-eopnotsupp.patch

Don't report -EOPNOTSUPP.

If the underlying device doesn't support barriers and dm receives a barrier,
it waits until all requests on that device drain --- so it doesn't have to
report EOPNOTSUPP to the caller.

This patch fixes the confusing situation when moving volume from one physical
device to another triggers an EOPNOTSUPP on a volume that didn't report it
before.
