From 92d9cd1059f80b9c89dee191ffb88b0872e6a7ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Chinner Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 13:45:10 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [XFS] 977545 977545 977545 977545 977545 977545 xfsaild causing too many wakeups Idle state is not being detected properly by the xfsaild push code. The current idle state is detected by an empty list which may never happen with mostly idle filesystem or one using lazy superblock counters. A single dirty item in the list that exists beyond the push target can result repeated looping attempting to push up to the target because it fails to check if the push target has been acheived or not. Fix by considering a dirty list with everything past the target as an idle state and set the timeout appropriately.
