Subject: [PATCH 6/9] ext4: endless truncate due to nonlocked dio readers V2
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:01:11 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1347548474-31897-7-git-send-email-dmonakhov@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1347548474-31897-1-git-send-email-dmonakhov@openvz.org>

If we have enough aggressive DIO readers, truncate and other dio
waiters will wait forever inside inode_dio_wait(). It is reasonable
to disable nonlock DIO read optimization during truncate.
