Re: Bug in kernel 2.6.31, Slow wb_kupdate writeout

[Martin Bligh]

BTW, can you explain this code at the bottom of generic_sync_sb_inodes
for me?

                if (wbc->nr_to_write <= 0) {
                        wbc->more_io = 1;
                        break;
                }

I don't understand why we are setting more_io here? AFAICS, more_io
means there's more stuff to write ... I would think we'd set this if
nr_to_write was > 0 ?

Or just have the section below brought up above this
break check and do:

if (!list_empty(&sb->s_more_io) || !list_empty(&sb->s_io))
        wbc->more_io = 1;

Am I just misunderstanding the intent of more_io ?
