From 142349f541d0bb6bc3e0d4563268105aada42b0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:32:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: lower the dirty balance poll interval Tests show that the original large intervals can easily make the dirty limit exceeded on 100 concurrent dd's. So adapt to as large as the next check point selected by the dirty throttling algorithm.
