Hi everyone, Are people still annoyed about writes taking unexpectedly long amounts of tme due to the stable page write patchset? I'm guessing yes... I'm close to posting a patchset that (a) gates the wait_on_page_writeback calls on a flag that you can set in the bdi to indicate that you need stable writes (which blk_integrity_register will set); (b) (ab)uses a page flag bit (PG_slab) to indicate that a page is actually being sent out to disk hardware; and (c) changes the three calls to wait_on_page_writeback()s that were in the original patchset to only wait if the bit in (b) is set. Sort of a hack, but it'll fix some of the latency complaints. I guess I should let that run overnight, and clean up/mail out the set tomorrow. --D -- 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
