Subject[PATCH 04/10] lightnvm: pblk: schedule if data is not ready
Date
When user threads place data into the write buffer, they reserve space
and do the memory copy out of the lock. As a consequence, when the write
thread starts persisting data, there is a chance that it is not copied
yet. In this case, avoid polling, and schedule before retrying.
