[Drbd-dev] [PATCH] drbd: do not set REQ_PREFLUSH when submitting barrier

When we receive a flush command (or "barrier" in DRBD), we currently use
a REQ_OP_FLUSH with the REQ_PREFLUSH flag set.

REQ_OP_FLUSH is supposed to be an empty bio with the sole purpose of
flushing the disk. REQ_PREFLUSH is used for REQ_OP_WRITE bios to
additionally signal that a flush should be issued, so it is redundant
here.

Since commit b4a6bb3a67aa ("block: add a sanity check for non-write
flush/fua bios"), this triggers a warning in the block layer.
So remove the REQ_PREFLUSH flag when allocating the bio.

Fixes: f9ff0da56437 ("drbd: allow parallel flushes for multi-volume resources")
