I'm trying to lessen amount of useless wake-ups in the kernel, and the 'sync_supers' thread if one of those kernel threads which wakes up every 5 seconds to (mostly) do nothing. This is still work in progress, but putting the below patch to your tree would make life easier at the next merge window. This patch just adds 3 accessor functions, but no one will use them so fare, so it must be harmless. This was suggested by Ted and supported by Al: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/9/216 Artem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
