1 jbd2: commit as soon as possible after log_start_commit
3 Once a transaction has been requested to be committed, don't let any
4 other handles start under that transaction, and don't allow any
5 pending transactions to be extended (i.e., in the case of
8 The idea is once the transaction has had log_start_commit() called on
9 it, at least one thread is blocked waiting for that transaction to
10 commit, and over time, more and more threads will end up getting
11 blocked. In order to avoid high variability in file system operations
12 getting blocked behind the a blocked start_this_handle(), we should
13 try to get the commit started as soon as possible.
