I don't think so.  It's saying 'if <there's no reason to commit>'.  The reasons to commit are bios being non-empty or need_commit_due_to_time.

reason to commit = !bio_list_empty(&bios) || need_commit_due_to_time(pool)
!reason_to_commit = !(!bio_list_empty(&bios) || need_commit_due_to_time(pool))
!reason_to_commit = (bio_list_empty(&bios) && !need_commit_due_to_time(pool))

Agree?

y, tunable is on the list.  Every second will do for now though.
