Hi,
I get some test results for this patch: basically it's good until
patch 4. Further more, I got minor regressions when apply several
combinations of patches 5-7 and Jan's patch for the I_SYNC case.
[PATCH 1/7] writeback: introduce queue b_more_io_wait
[PATCH 2/7] writeback: avoid redirtying when ->write_inode failed to clear I_DIR
[PATCH 3/7] writeback: update wb->last_active on written pages/inodes
[PATCH 4/7] writeback: Retry kupdate work early if we need to retry some inode w
[PATCH 5/7] writeback: requeue_io_wait() on pages_skipped inode
[PATCH 6/7] writeback: requeue_io_wait() on blocked inode
[PATCH 7/7] writeback: requeue_io_wait() when failed to grab superblock
Based on the below results, I'd like to push only patches 1-4 to
linux-next and hold back the other patches for more investigation.
Overall throughput increases +1.2% if applying only patches 1-4:
3.1.0-rc9-ioless-full-next-20111014+ 3.1.0-rc9-ioless-full-more_io_wait-5-next-20111014+
