[PATCH RT 06/12] fs, jbd: pull your plug when waiting for space

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Date: 2012-07-17 15:33:27
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

From: Mike Galbraith <redacted>

With an -rt kernel, and a heavy sync IO load, tasks can jam
up on journal locks without unplugging, which can lead to
terminal IO starvation.  Unplug and schedule when waiting for space.
