From b0ac1bd2bbfd5e500432714e55a791c4d394047f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2015 13:30:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Background flush should not be low priority Background flush is needed in order to satisfy the global page limits. Don't subvert by reducing the priority. This should also address a write starvation issue that was reported by Neil Brown.
