Hi all, No code changes in this version... I've just updated the commit log description for patch 1 as requested by Jan and added the associated reviewed-by tags. Thanks. Brian v7: - Updated patch 1/2 commit log description to reference performance impact. v6: http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=145322635828644&w=2 - Use rcu locking instead of s_inode_list_lock spinlock in wait_sb_inodes(). - Refactor wait_sb_inodes() to keep inode on wb list. - Drop remaining, unnecessary lazy list removal bits and relocate inode list check to clear_inode(). - Fix up some comments, etc. v5: http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=145262374402798&w=2 - Converted from per-bdi list to per-sb list. Also marked as RFC and dropped testing/review tags. - Updated to use new irq-safe lock for wb list. - Dropped lazy list removal. Inodes are removed when the mapping is cleared of the writeback tag. - Tweaked wait_sb_inodes() to remove deferred iput(), other cleanups. - Added wb list tracepoint patch. v4: http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=143511628828000&w=2 Brian Foster (1): wb: inode writeback list tracking tracepoints Dave Chinner (1): sb: add a new writeback list for sync fs/fs-writeback.c | 111 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- fs/inode.c | 2 + fs/super.c | 2 + include/linux/fs.h | 4 ++ include/linux/writeback.h | 3 ++ include/trace/events/writeback.h | 22 ++++++-- mm/page-writeback.c | 18 +++++++ 7 files changed, 133 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) -- 2.4.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
