Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 13:38:12 -0700 From: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@...onical.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org, kernel-team@...ts.ubuntu.com Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com>, Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>, Kamal Mostafa <kamal@...onical.com> Subject: [PATCH 3.13 069/259] ext4: disable synchronous transaction batching if max_batch_time==0 3.13.11.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com> commit 5dd214248f94d430d70e9230bda72f2654ac88a8 upstream. The mount manpage says of the max_batch_time option, This optimization can be turned off entirely by setting max_batch_time to 0. But the code doesn't do that. So fix the code to do that.
