Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 18:46:40 -0400 From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> To: Ext4 Developers List <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>, Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> Subject: [PATCH 2/2] jbd2: optimize jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() a bit From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> When we discover written out buffer in transaction checkpoint list we don't have to recheck validity of a transaction. Either this is the last buffer in a transaction - and then we are done - or this isn't and then we can just take another buffer from the checkpoint list without dropping j_list_lock.
