From a3172027148120b8f8797cbecc7d0a0b215736a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 01:59:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=ordered ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the length of time a journal replay may take after a crash. Sometimes, writing metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers. This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin. This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction. It is low risk because if a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay after a crash.
