Subject: Btrfs: run the backing dev more often in the submit_bio helper
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51684082b11c304829ea22193d4d96a5b1663b97;p=linux-beck.git

Btrfs: run the backing dev more often in the submit_bio helper

The submit_bio helper thread can decide to loop back around to
service more bios.  This commit forces it to unplug first, which helps
reduce the latency seen by submitters.
