From b51912c91fcf7581cc7b4550f1bb96422809d9ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 09:23:24 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: async threads should try harder to find work Tracing shows the delay between when an async thread goes to sleep and when more work is added is often very short. This commit adds a little bit of delay and extra checking to the code right before we schedule out. It allows more work to be added to the worker without requiring notifications from other procs.
