[PATCH] xfs: remove unecessary AIL push wakeups

From: JiSheng Zhang
Date: Thu Jan 12 2012 - 12:37:45 EST



In commit 0030807c66("xfs: revert to using a kthread for AIL pushing"),
AIL pushing is revert back to use a kthread. But unfortunately, it
introduced a regression: there are unnecessary AIL push wakeups during
idle, ~20 wakeups/s. This change remove the wakeups by reverting a bit
more: set "tout" value as zero during idle.
