Subject: drbd: drop drbd_md_flush
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~3399^2~26
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=41d9f7cd5ba8a488fbc96350141c70c5c01bf8e6;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

drbd: drop drbd_md_flush

The only user of drbd_md_flush was bm_rw(),
and it is always followed by either a drbd_md_sync(),
or an al_write_transaction(), which, if so configured,
both end up submiting a FLUSH|FUA request anyways.
