Message-Id: <1309205864-13124-3-git-send-email-vgoyal@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 16:17:43 -0400 From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, jaxboe@...ionio.com, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Cc: vgoyal@...hat.com, khlebnikov@...nvz.org, jmoyer@...hat.com Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ext4: Explicitly specify fsync dependency on journaling thread Set/reset fsync dependency of fsync on journalling thread. This allows CFQ to dispatch IO from journalling thread in fsync's time slice. Otherwise, lots of cfq queue idling takes place if fsync is running in a separate cgroup and journalling thread is running in root group.
