Subject: [PULL 05/30] block: simplify comment to BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2020 16:12:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201218151249.715731-6-mreitz@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201218151249.715731-1-mreitz@redhat.com>

From: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>

1. BDRV_REQ_NO_SERIALISING doesn't exist already, don't mention it.

2. We are going to add one more user of BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING, so
   comment about backup becomes a bit confusing here. The use case in
   backup is documented in block/backup.c, so let's just drop
   duplication here.

3. The fact that BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING is only for write requests is
   omitted. Add a note.
