Subject: [PATCH 4/6] jbd: use WRITE_SYNC for journal I/O
In my fsync testing, journal I/O most definitely was sync I/O, since
another process was blocked waiting for the results. By marking all
journal I/O as WRITE_SYNC, I can get better performance with CFQ.
If there is a way to mark this only for cases where it is blocking progress
in a dependent process, then that would be preferrable. Is there such a
means for determining and flagging this?
Cheers,
Jeff
