[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 01/11] fs/writeback: bail out if there is no more inodes for IO and queued once

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Kemeng Shi <shikemeng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d92109891f21cf367caa2cc6dff11a4411d917f4 ]

For case there is no more inodes for IO in io list from last wb_writeback,
We may bail out early even there is inode in dirty list should be written
back. Only bail out when we queued once to avoid missing dirtied inode.

This is from code reading...
