Subject: [GIT PULL] SCSI fixes for 3.16-rc7

This is a potential data corruption fix: If we get an error sending down
a barrier, we simply ignore it meaning the barrier semantics get
violated without anyone being any the wiser.  If the system crashes at
this point, the filesystem potentially becomes corrupt.  Fix is to
report errors on failed barriers.

The patch is available here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi.git scsi-fixes

The short changelog is:

James Bottomley (1):
      scsi: handle flush errors properly
