Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Write optimization for short files and small O_SYNC writes.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab0a3dbedc51037f3d2e22ef67717a987b3d15e2;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[PATCH] NFS: Write optimization for short files and small O_SYNC writes.

 Use stable writes if we can see that we are only going to put a single
 write on the wire.
