    Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writes · ffbd517d
    Chris Mason 提交于
    Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
    writes we plan on waiting on in the near future.  This patch
    mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
    use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
    other latency critical writes.
    
    Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
    and then again to actually submit the bios.  The bio submission code just
    runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.
    
    This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
    WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.
