[PATCH 1/3] block: eliminate BDRV_REQ_NO_SERIALISING
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 6 years, 1 month ago
It is unused since commit 00e30f0 ("block/backup: use backup-top instead
of write notifiers", 2019-10-01), drop it to simplify the code.

While at it, drop redundant assertions on flags.

I think we shoud still keep this assertion as long as read requests
don't mark themselves as serialising when BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING is given.
Otherwise, someone might add the flag to a read request and will later
be surprised that it didn't work.

The comment wants an update, too (or maybe a removal).

Here you kept the assertion, so apart from making sense anyway, it would
also be more consistent to keep it above, too. :-)

I'm removing it because it's anyway tested by the earlier

    assert(!(flags & ~(BDRV_REQ_COPY_ON_READ | BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH)));

Ah, right. Never mind then.
