From 88ba2aa586c874681c072101287e15d40de7e6e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2009 16:16:18 -0700 Subject: async_tx: kill ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another. While the flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending. Setting the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage collection. The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the chain after adding this dependency". Since each operation can only have one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency submission time. This removes an unnecessary management burden from clients of the api.
