Hello,
Ok so now with this patch we're walloping ext3. ext3 was getting about 35
files/sec, whereas btrfs was getting 25 files/sec. With this change btrfs gets
around 170 files/sec. I yanked out the writer waitqueue as it was causing a
hang b/c we wouldn't wake up. The only thing thats weird about this, and I
think this is in part because of fs_mutex, is that we _never_ get anybody add
anything to the transaction. I put debug statements in the do/while loop to
see if we ever loop, and we don't, however we manage to push alot more through
so I'm kind of confused, so if anybody has any ideas I'd love to hear them.
Thanks much,
Josef
