[PATCH 004/102] xfs: reduce ioend latency

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

 



From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Upstream commit: fc0063c4474599b7a066ba76b90902abe21bc675

There is no reason to queue up ioends for processing in user context
unless we actually need it.  Just complete ioends that do not convert
unwritten extents or need a size update from the end_io context.
