Is anything/anyone still objecting to this patchset?
I just retested it ontop of v3.1-rc8 minus the btrfs parts (which don't apply
cleanly anymore because a modified version of 1/7 was merged) and it works
fine for some hours of fs heavy db using benchmarking/development.
Following is a seemingly trivial forward-port of 7/7. But since I have
about no clue in fs development and even less about brfts - which I never used -
take it with a grain of salt.
It seems a bit ugly to have the mutex_unlock at three places btw. A 2nd patch
fixes that, no idea whether its worth the churn.
Both are compile tested only.
Even at this (2 x E5520 (4 cores)) machine there seems to be a benefit of
about 1.5%. Not enough cores to get into the actually problematic performance
areas as presented by Robert though.
The variance between runs is a bit too high to call it reliable though.
Thanks,
Andres
PS: I have no clue what to do with the s-o-b and changelog when forward
porting a patch... So I just copied the original message - which seems wrong.
