>From 3627b5f30996504019cd84f326402fccbb9a298b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2018 13:04:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: Avoid long hold times of j_state_lock while committing a transaction We can hold j_state_lock for writing at the beginning of jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() for a rather long time (reportedly for 30 ms) due cleaning revoke bits of all revoked buffers under it. The handling of revoke tables as well as cleaning of t_reserved_list, and checkpoint lists does not need j_state_lock for anything. Furthermore the transaction is in T_LOCKED state and we waited for all outstanding handles so nobody is going to be adding anything to the transaction. Just drop the lock for unnecessary operations.
