[PATCH] ext4: Use sing thread to perform DIO unwritten convertion

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

 



While running ext4 testing on multiple core, we found there are per cpu ext4-dio-unwritten threads processing
conversion from unwritten extents to written for IOs completed from async direct IO patch.
Per filesystem is enough, we don't need per cpu threads to work on conversion.
