Subject[PATCH 5/6] jbd2: use WRITE_SYNC for journal I/O
Date
In my fsync testing, journal I/O most definitely was sync I/O, since
another process was blocked waiting for the results. By marking all
journal I/O as WRITE_SYNC, I can get better performance with CFQ.

If there is a way to mark this only for cases where it is blocking progress
in a dependent process, then that would be preferrable. Is there such a
means for determining and flagging this?

Cheers,
Jeff
