end_io worker thread with preempt count 1?

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

 



I have started looking into Btrfs data structures and trying to
understand its code flow.

The Btrfs worker thread relating to metadata end-io (btrfs-end-io-met)
seems to have preempt count set to 1 which means that it should be run
in atomic context. I found this while looking into the checksumming
code (csum_tree_block) called from btrfs_readpage_end_io_hook. Please
let me know if I am correct in my understanding and what is the reason
for having it non-preemptible?

Thanks,
Aayush
