From 89ce8a63d0c761fbb02089850605360f389477d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:01:31 -0400 Subject: Add btrfs_end_transaction_throttle to force writers to wait for pending commits The existing throttle mechanism was often not sufficient to prevent new writers from coming in and making a given transaction run forever. This adds an explicit wait at the end of most operations so they will allow the current transaction to close. There is no wait inside file_write, inode updates, or cow filling, all which have different deadlock possibilities. This is a temporary measure until better asynchronous commit support is added. This code leads to stalls as it waits for data=ordered writeback, and it really needs to be fixed.
