From bc6e588a8971aa74c02e42db4d6e0248679f3738 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:14:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: do not update xa_last_pushed_lsn for locked items If an item was locked we should not update xa_last_pushed_lsn and thus skip it when restarting the AIL scan as we need to be able to lock and write it out as soon as possible. Otherwise heavy lock contention might starve AIL pushing too easily, especially given the larger backoff once we moved xa_last_pushed_lsn all the way to the target lsn.
