[PATCH 0/3] sync livelock fixes

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

 



Andrew,

I wrote a simple script to test sync livelock and this patchset is working as
expected:

	sync time: 2
	Dirty:             26492 kB
	Writeback:         30260 kB
	NFS_Unstable:          0 kB
	WritebackTmp:          0 kB
	sync NOT livelocked

In particular patch 2 fixes the sync livelock problem introduced by patch
"writeback: try more writeback as long as something was written".

Thanks,
Fengguang
