From eb71a12e411fe065f8663e12a8d81d561f9502ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 07:40:43 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: don't defer metadata allocation to the workqueue Almost all metadata allocations come from shallow stack usage situations. Avoid the overhead of switching the allocation to a workqueue as we are not in danger of running out of stack when making these allocations. Metadata allocations are already marked through the args that are passed down, so this is trivial to do.
