Subject: [PATCH] xfs: preallocation transactions do not need to be synchronous
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 10:37:32 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299713852-7663-1-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com> (raw)

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Preallocation and hole punch transactions are currently synchronous
and this is causing performance problems in some cases. The
transactions don't need to be synchronous as we don't need to
guarantee the preallocation is persistent on disk until a
fdatasync, fsync, sync operation occurs. If the file is opened
O_SYNC or O_DATASYNC, only then should the transaction be issued
synchronously.
