Subject: [PATCH 1/6] jbd2: don't hold j_state_lock while calling wake_up()
Date: Sun,  9 Mar 2014 01:05:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1394345141-3471-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)

The j_state_lock is one of the hottest locks in the jbd2 layer and
thus one of its scalability bottlenecks.

We don't need to be holding the j_state_lock while we are calling
wake_up(&journal->j_wait_commit), so release the lock a little bit
earlier.
