From 453eac8a9aa417878a38bdfbccafd5f7ce4e8e4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 11:49:58 +0000 Subject: xfs: Don't wake the aild once per second Now that the AIL push algorithm is traversal safe, we don't need a watchdog function in the xfsaild to catch pushes that fail to make progress. Remove the watchdog timeout and make pushes purely driven by demand. This will remove the once-per-second wakeup that is seen when the filesystem is idle and make laptop power misers happy.
