[PATCH 2/3] ext4: Explicitly specify fsync dependency on journaling thread

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

 



Set/reset fsync dependency of fsync on journalling thread. This allows
CFQ to dispatch IO from journalling thread in fsync's time slice.
Otherwise, lots of cfq queue idling takes place if fsync is running
in a separate cgroup and journalling thread is running in root group.
