cfq: improve fsync performance for small files
Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.
Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
small files and fsync-ing them is starved.
This patch fixes the two problems by:
- marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
flag set,
- force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
tree.
Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
- switching between them without idling,
- fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
after the noidle tree expires its slice.
