Subject: RE: fsync stuck at jbd2_log_wait_commit on NVMe devices

Hi Ted, 

    I got some JBD2 tracing log by running our test program, most of them will take 10 seconds or so.  Compared to the normal system, this test only takes 2 seconds.
    We saw the spike of running, but checking with kernel source. I don't get  what it means.  Any insights?
