From 4dd2cb4a28b7ab1f37163a4eba280926a13a8749 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:06:14 -0600 Subject: xfs: force buffer writeback before blocking on the ilock in inode reclaim If we are doing synchronous inode reclaim we block the VM from making progress in memory reclaim. So if we encouter a flush locked inode promote it in the delwri list and wake up xfsbufd to write it out now. Without this we can get hangs of up to 30 seconds during workloads hitting synchronous inode reclaim. The scheme is copied from what we do for dquot reclaims.
