From 6c4bac6b3351fd278dc3537dae42f88f733ff12e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 14:48:04 +0200 Subject: jbd: use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_SYNC When you are going to be submitting several sync writes, we want to give the IO scheduler a chance to merge some of them. Instead of using the implicitly unplugging WRITE_SYNC variant, use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG and rely on sync_buffer() doing the unplug when someone does a wait_on_buffer()/lock_buffer().
