Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] writeback: Replace some redirty_tail() calls with requeue_io()
Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2011 12:00:36 +0800 [thread overview]

Hi Jan,
The test results look not good: btrfs is heavily impacted and the
other filesystems are slightly impacted.
I'll send you the detailed logs in private emails (too large for the
mailing list). Basically I noticed many writeback_wait traces that
never appear w/o this patch. In the btrfs cases that see larger
regressions, I see large fluctuations in the writeout bandwidth and
long disk idle periods. It's still a bit puzzling how all these
happen..
