These are two unrelated patches that I found while tidying up :-) One has been sitting, unloved, for over a year... (though I did mention it in a recent email - I'm resending it for simplicity). Both fix performance issues in unusual situations. The first allows an 'unlink' to complete in 100ms where it will take 15 seconds in the current kernel. The second uses non-STABLE writes in a case where STABLE writes are current used but not needed, resulting in reduced throughput. Thanks, NeilBrown --- NeilBrown (2): NFSv4: use exponential retry on NFS4ERR_DELAY for async requests. NFS: don't use STABLE writes during writeback. fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 65 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- fs/nfs/write.c | 7 ++++- include/linux/nfs_xdr.h | 2 + 3 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) -- Signature -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
