I'll post the xfs_buf_submit[_wait]() refactoring patch separately after waiting for some feedback in the previous thread and/or doing some testing. It really has nothing to do with fixing this problem, anyways. Brian v3: - Leave tracepoint in __xfs_buf_submit and kill trace_xfs_buf_submit_wait(). - Comment tweaks. v2: https://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=152888792024447&w=2 - Implement sync buffer I/O for sync delwri queues instead of buffer wait list stealing. v1: https://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=152837528705511&w=2 Brian Foster (2): xfs: refactor buffer submission into a common helper xfs: use sync buffer I/O for sync delwri queue submission fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c | 163 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- fs/xfs/xfs_trace.h | 1 - 2 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 86 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
