In order to avoid extra wakeups, this code has a running_pending flag that is used to tell new submissions they don't need to wake the thread. When the threads notice congestion on a single device, they may decide to requeue the job and move on to other devices. This makes sure the running_pending flag is cleared before the job is requeued. It should help avoid IO stalls by making sure the task is woken up when new submissions come in. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
