[PATCH 09/43] staging/lustre/clio: add pages into writeback cache in batches

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jinshan Xiong <jinshan.xiong@xxxxxxxxx>

in ll_write_end(), instead of adding the page into writeback
cache directly, it will be held in a page list. After enough
pages have been collected, issue them all with cio_commit_async().
