xfs: flag all buffers as metadata
Now that REQ_META bios aren't treated specially in the CFQ I/O schedule anymore, we can tag all buffers as metadata to make blktrace traces more meaningful. Note that we use buffers also to zero out partial blocks in the preallocation / hole punching code, and while they operate on data blocks the zeros written certainly aren't data. I think this case is borderline metadata enough to not bother special casing it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
