This is the right one. I ran into this issue recently (extra long sync times) and have been trying the patches attached in this thread. The above patch specifically causes a pretty significant performance regression for me doing a simple sequential dd write on a dual-core Atom system running 2.6.33.4 x86_64. This command: dd bs=1M conv=fsync if=/dev/zero of=test_file count=10000 went from 135 MB/sec to all the way down to 92.9 MB/sec. Is this expected? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
