From 8f2ae0faa3a119158c4dcfe89926d6fad5f5332c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 16:38:10 -0700 Subject: swap: do not send discards as barriers The swap code already uses synchronous discards, no need to add I/O barriers. This fixes the worst of the terrible slowdown in swap allocation for hibernation, reported on 2.6.35 by Nigel Cunningham; but does not entirely eliminate that regression.
