From 9042846bc7ae69cc3288d85af6bad16208d93a95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 16:56:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: Allow worker threads to exit when idle The Btrfs worker threads don't currently die off after they have been idle for a while, leading to a lot of threads sitting around doing nothing for each mount. Also, they are unable to start atomically (from end_io hanlders). This commit reworks the worker threads so they can be started from end_io handlers (just setting a flag that asks for a thread to be added at a later date) and so they can exit if they have been idle for a long time.
