Starving the quota syncing thread doesn't seem like a great idea either. The following patch changes things to use a workqueue. Really, this doesn't seem like a big deal anyway - the workqueue has reasonable overhead. I could add this on top of my upstream branch along with a revert of the 'mm: Export pdflush_operation()' patch, or I could work this into the patch series so we never get the export patch in the 1st place. --Mark -- Mark Fasheh From: Mark Fasheh ocfs2/quota: Use workqueue for periodic syncing instead of pdflush() Using pdflush_operation() for this was potentially buggy - we could get into a situation where the work function never gets run. Instead, just create a workqueue, 'o2quota' and just constantly queue a delayed work item. The impact of this should be pretty minimal.
