From db95c876c568cef951fbbd4c0118cb5386e4bb99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Sterba Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2017 18:16:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: submit superblock io with REQ_META and REQ_PRIO The superblock is also metadata of the filesystem so the relevant IO should be tagged as such. We also tag it as high priority, as it's the last block committed for metadata from a given transaction. Any delays would effectively block the whole transaction, also blocking any other operation holding the device_list_mutex.
