Subject: ext4: optimize ext4_should_retry_alloc() to improve ENOSPC performance
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d08854f5bcf3ea0cabc6fd2fc49c2d97e00c7c88;p=linux-beck.git

ext4: optimize ext4_should_retry_alloc() to improve ENOSPC performance

If there are no pending blocks to be released after a commit, forcing
a journal commit has no hope of helping.  It's possible that a commit
had just completed, so if there are now free blocks available for
allocation, it's worth retrying the commit.
