From d85c8a6f1bc083279215ff6e79b7c292bf3ec905 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mason Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:38:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: unplug every once and a while The btrfs io submission threads can build up massive plug lists. This keeps things more reasonable so we don't hand over huge dumps of IO at once.
