From 26931309a47747fd31b2ef029c29d47794c2d93d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 23:48:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: lock only once on reiserfs_get_block() reiserfs_get_block() is one of these sites where the write lock might be acquired recursively. It's a particular problem because this function is called very often. It's a hot spot which needs to reschedule() periodically while converting direct items to indirect ones because it can take some time. Then if we are applying the write lock release/reacquire pattern on schedule() here, it may not produce the desired effect since we may have locked in more than one depth. The solution is to use reiserfs_write_lock_once() which won't try to reacquire the lock recursively. Then the lock will be *really* released before schedule(). Also, we only release the lock if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set to not create wasteful numerous contentions.
