Subject: [PATCH 6/7] kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: factorize the locking in reiserfs_write_end()
Date: Fri,  8 May 2009 20:35:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241807725-6263-7-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1241807725-6263-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>

reiserfs_write_end() is a hot path in reiserfs.
We have two wasteful write lock lock/release inside that can be gathered
without changing the code logic.

This patch factorizes them out in a single protected section, reducing the
number of contentions inside.

[ Impact: reduce lock contention in a reiserfs hotpath ]
