    Subject[PATCH 2/3] ext4: Explicitly specify fsync dependency on journaling thread
    Date
    Set/reset fsync dependency of fsync on journalling thread. This allows
    CFQ to dispatch IO from journalling thread in fsync's time slice.
    Otherwise, lots of cfq queue idling takes place if fsync is running
    in a separate cgroup and journalling thread is running in root group.
