Subject: [PATCH 24/47] writeback: increase pause time on concurrent dirtiers
Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:43:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101213064839.907210153@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20101213064249.648862451@intel.com
[-- Attachment #1: writeback-200ms-pause-time.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1956 bytes --]
Increase max pause time to 200ms, and make it work for (HZ < 5).
The larger 200ms will help reduce overheads in server workloads with
lots of concurrent dirtier tasks.
