Which tree is this against?

Linus's latest tree still has this in _submit_bh
(unless git didn't pull the latest updates right):

        if (buffer_meta(bh))
                rw |= REQ_META;
        if (buffer_prio(bh))
                rw |= REQ_PRIO;

        bio_get(bio);
        submit_bio(rw, bio);

        if (bio_flagged(bio, BIO_EOPNOTSUPP))
                ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;

        bio_put(bio);
        return ret;
}
