Thread A write 512 pages Thread B write 8 pages
- writepages()
- mutex_lock(&sbi->writepages);
- writepage();
...
- writepages()
- writepage()
....
- writepage();
...
- mutex_unlock(&sbi->writepages);
Above case will also cause fragmentation since we didn't serialize all
concurrent IO with the lock.
Do we need to consider such case?
Thanks,
