[RFC PATCH v2 08/16] fs: add pending file update time flag.

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

 



This introduces an optimization for the update time flag and async
buffered writes. While an update of the file modification time is
pending and is handled by the workers, concurrent writes do not need
to wait for this time update to complete.
