Fix the compile error when dm-bufio is built as a module.
1. dm-bufio module use blk_flush_plug();
2. blk_flush_plug is an inline function and it calls __blk_flush_plug.
Then don't call blk_flush_plug from dm-bufio, as drivers should not
micro-manage plug flushing.
Note that at least in current upstream and linux-next dm-bufio does
not actually call blk_flush_plug, so I'm not sure where your
report comes from.
Hi, Christoph
Stephen reported that a compile error happened when he tried merging
device-mapper tree.
Hi all,
After merging the device-mapper tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:
ERROR: modpost: "__blk_flush_plug" [drivers/md/dm-bufio.ko] undefined!
Caused by commit
713ff5c782f5 ("dm-bufio: improve the performance of __dm_bufio_prefetch")
I have used the device-mapper tree from next-20250409 for today.
More details are here.
