    jbd2: refine waiting for shadow buffers · b34090e5
    Jan Kara 提交于
    Currently when we add a buffer to a transaction, we wait until the
    buffer is removed from BJ_Shadow list (so that we prevent any changes
    to the buffer that is just written to the journal).  This can take
    unnecessarily long as a lot happens between the time the buffer is
    submitted to the journal and the time when we remove the buffer from
    BJ_Shadow list.  (e.g.  We wait for all data buffers in the
    transaction, we issue a cache flush, etc.)  Also this creates a
    dependency of do_get_write_access() on transaction commit (namely
    waiting for data IO to complete) which we want to avoid when
    implementing transaction reservation.
    
    So we modify commit code to set new BH_Shadow flag when temporary
    shadowing buffer is created and we clear that flag once IO on that
    buffer is complete.  This allows do_get_write_access() to wait only
    for BH_Shadow bit and thus removes the dependency on data IO
    completion.
