From 5dd214248f94d430d70e9230bda72f2654ac88a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2014 19:18:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: disable synchronous transaction batching if max_batch_time==0 The mount manpage says of the max_batch_time option, This optimization can be turned off entirely by setting max_batch_time to 0. But the code doesn't do that. So fix the code to do that.
