From 8287889742940cf3c416e755322090d09f2829be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2011 09:13:08 +1100 Subject: xfs: preallocation transactions do not need to be synchronous Preallocation and hole punch transactions are currently synchronous and this is causing performance problems in some cases. The transactions don't need to be synchronous as we don't need to guarantee the preallocation is persistent on disk until a fdatasync, fsync, sync operation occurs. If the file is opened O_SYNC or O_DATASYNC, only then should the transaction be issued synchronously.
