From: "NeilBrown" <neilb@xxxxxxx> Subject: FAT: use io_schedule_timeout() instead of congestion_wait() congestion_wait() in this context is just a sleep - block devices do not support congestion signalling any more. The goal for this wait, which was introduced in Commit ae78bf9c4f5f ("[PATCH] add -o flush for fat") is to wait for any recently written data to get to storage. We currently have no direct mechanism to do this, so a simple wait that behaves identically to the current congestion_wait() is the best we can do. This is a step towards removing congestion_wait() Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/163936544519.22433.13400436295732112065@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/fat/file.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/fs/fat/file.c~fat-use-io_schedule_timeout-instead-of-congestion_wait +++ a/fs/fat/file.c @@ -175,9 +175,10 @@ long fat_generic_ioctl(struct file *filp static int fat_file_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) { if ((filp->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE) && - MSDOS_SB(inode->i_sb)->options.flush) { + MSDOS_SB(inode->i_sb)->options.flush) { fat_flush_inodes(inode->i_sb, inode, NULL); - congestion_wait(BLK_RW_ASYNC, HZ/10); + set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); + io_schedule_timeout(HZ/10); } return 0; } _
