From 9b0d3ace33ef225690a86d7130feadb22367f496 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 09:33:00 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: don't return congestion in write_cache_pages as often On fast devices that go from congested to uncongested very quickly, pdflush is waiting too often in congestion_wait, and the FS is backing off to easily in write_cache_pages. For now, fix this on the btrfs side by only checking congestion after some bios have already gone down. Longer term a real fix is needed for pdflush, but that is a larger project.
