Subject: [PATCH 04/10] writeback: kupdate writeback shall not stop when more io is possible
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:40:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1253803236-20760-5-git-send-email-jens.axboe@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1253803236-20760-1-git-send-email-jens.axboe@oracle.com>
From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
Fix the kupdate case, which disregards wbc.more_io and stop writeback
prematurely even when there are more inodes to be synced.
wbc.more_io should always be respected.
Also remove the pages_skipped check. It will set when some page(s) of some
inode(s) cannot be written for now. Such inodes will be delayed for a while.
This variable has nothing to do with whether there are other writeable inodes.
