From 2bd023452592e5f5cf90dd426cc39b7632b15b76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:12:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dm snapshot: use barrier when writing exception store Send barrier requests when updating the exception area. Exception area updates need to be ordered w.r.t. data writes, so that the writes are not reordered in hardware disk cache.
