[PATCH] btrfs: always choose work from prio_head first

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

 



In case we do not refill, we can overwrite cur pointer from prio_head
by one from not prioritized head, what looks as something that was
not intended.

This change make we always take works from prio_head first until it's
not empty.

I found this by reading code, not sure if change is correct.
Patch is only compile tested.
