[PATCH] Btrfs: avoid taking the chunk_mutex in do_chunk_alloc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Everytime we try to allocate disk space we try and see if we can pre-emptively
allocate a chunk, but in the common case we don't allocate anything, so there is
no sense in taking the chunk_mutex at all.  So instead if we are allocating a
chunk, mark it in the space_info so we don't get two people trying to allocate
at the same time.  Thanks,
