[Cluster-devel] [PATCH] GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvements

Benjamin Marzinski bmarzins at redhat.com
Mon Apr 19 20:46:46 UTC 2010


This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback
work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits
for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing.  Multiple functions were rewritten to
remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if
gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there
are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the
active items list.
