http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12224 ------- Comment #12 from sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx 2008-12-18 15:02 ------- In a nutshell, with laptop mode on, we go down this path: static void laptop_timer_fn(unsigned long unused) { pdflush_operation(laptop_flush, 0); } static void laptop_flush(unsigned long unused) { sys_sync(); } which gets us to the new static int ext3_sync_fs(struct super_block *sb, int wait) { sb->s_dirt = 0; if (wait) ext3_force_commit(sb); ... which is then committing empty transactions. Seems like we should be smart enough to skip committing transactions w/ nothing in them...? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
