From 198868f35de99e7197829314076e5465c37e4cc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mingming Cao Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2011 11:52:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Use single thread to perform DIO unwritten convertion While running ext4 testing on multiple core, we found there are per cpu ext4-dio-unwritten threads processing conversion from unwritten extents to written for IOs completed from async direct IO patch. Per filesystem is enough, we don't need per cpu threads to work on conversion.
