We have a kernel build regression since 3.1-rc1, which is about 10% regression. The kernel source is in an ext3 filesystem. Alex Shi bisect it to commit: commit a07405b7802691d29ab3b23bdc76ee6d006aad0b Author: Justin TerAvest Date: Sun Jul 10 22:09:19 2011 +0200 cfq: Remove special treatment for metadata rqs. Apparently this is caused by lack metadata preemption, where ext3/ext4 do use READ_META. I didn't see a way to fix the issue, so suggest reverting the patch. This reverts commit a07405b7802691d29ab3b23bdc76ee6d006aad0b. Reported-by: Alex Shi Reported-by: Shaohua Li Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
