From 41f2df62894bfcd3bf868af916b32b90aa7168dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 08:54:16 +0200 Subject: block: BARRIER request should imply SYNC A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward progress due to the queue draining. Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly. But btrfs and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush and some places in DM/MD. For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup in the 2-3% range.

This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them. Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.
