Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 2/2] xfs: split metadata and log buffer completion to separate workqueues
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:24:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415906641-43587-3-git-send-email-bfoster@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1415906641-43587-1-git-send-email-bfoster@redhat.com>

XFS traditionally sends all buffer I/O completion work to a single
queue. This includes metadata buffer completion and log buffer
completion. The log buffer completion requires a high priority queue to
prevent stalls due to log forces getting stuck behind other queued work.

Rather than continue to prioritize all buffer I/O completion due to the
needs of log completion, split log buffer completion off to
m_log_workqueue and move the high priority flag from m_buf_workqueue to
m_log_workqueue.

[XXX: Use of XBF_SYNCIO is purely for demonstration. Define a new flag.]
