[RFC PATCH v4 4/8] ext4: rework fast commit commit path

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

 



This patch reworks fast commit's commit path to remove locking the
journal for the entire duration of a fast commit. Instead, we only lock
the journal while marking all the eligible inodes as "committing". This
allows handles to make progress in parallel with the fast commit.
