Hi,

Please do checkpatch.pl before sending a patch.
Thanks,

> Previously,  do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages (previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back.
> Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting.
> For this reason, there is a situation that after the pages have been written back, but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit.
> This is a problem here, especially, when sync a large number of small files or dirs.
> In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the checkpoint thread will be dropped into the wait_list if the pages have not been written back, and will be waked up by contrast.
