From 2143c1965a761332ae417b22fd477b636e4f54ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2015 21:44:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: speedup jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() It is often the case that we mark buffer as having dirty metadata when the buffer is already in that state (frequent for bitmaps, inode table blocks, superblock). Thus it is unnecessary to contend on grabbing journal head reference and bh_state lock. Avoid that by checking whether any modification to the buffer is needed before grabbing any locks or references.
