Message-Id: <1360446832-12724-9-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2013 16:53:48 -0500 From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> To: Ext4 Developers List <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> Subject: [PATCH 08/12] ext4: start handle at the last possible moment in ext4_rmdir() Don't start the jbd2 transaction handle until after the directory entry has been found, to minimize the amount of time that a handle is held active.
