This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- remove the following unused global functions:
- blkdev_scsi_issue_flush_fn

Kill the function completely, it is not used anymore.

Quoted 1 line

- __blk_attempt_remerge

Normally I would say leave that since it's part of the API, but lets just kill it. I don't envision any further users of the remerging attempts.

Quoted 7 lines

- remove the following unused EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
- blk_phys_contig_segment
- blk_hw_contig_segment
- blkdev_scsi_issue_flush_fn
- __blk_attempt_remerge

Please review which of these changes make sense.

Looks fine to me, thanks. Can you send a new patch that kills blkdev_scsi_issue_flush_fn()?

I have a problem parsing your email.

Which parts of my patch are OK and which shouldn't be applied? Or why do you want a separate blkdev_scsi_issue_flush_fn patch?

I have no problems with your patch, I would just like a revised patch that removes blkdev_scsi_issue_flush_fn completely instead since it is totally unused. It doesn't make sense to remove the export and make it static, since it isn't used internally (and never meant to, it's a helper function for drivers).

My patch does already completely remove blkdev_scsi_issue_flush_fn.

When I say "remove the following unused global functions:", this means the patch completely removes the function.

Ah, I misread that, missed it in the patch as well apparently. Then I'm fine with the patch.
