[PATCH RT 06/12] fs, jbd: pull your plug when waiting for space
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Jul 18 2012 - 18:41:53 EST
From: Mike Galbraith <mgalbraith@xxxxxxx>
With an -rt kernel, and a heavy sync IO load, tasks can jam
up on journal locks without unplugging, which can lead to
terminal IO starvation. Unplug and schedule when waiting for space.
