[2.6.22 PATCH 03/26] dm crypt: disable barriers

From: Alasdair G Kergon
Date: Tue May 08 2007 - 15:44:36 EST


From: Milan Broz <mbroz@xxxxxxxxxx>

Disable barriers in dm-crypt because of current workqueue processing
can reorder requests.

This must be addresed later but for now disabling barriers is needed
to prevent data corruption.
