From 053c525fcf976810f023d96472f414c0d5e6339b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 13:44:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] buffer: switch do_emergency_thaw() away from pdflush_operation() This is (again) a preparatory patch similar to commit a2a9537ac0b37a5da6fbe7e1e9cb06c524d2a9c4. It open codes a simple async way of executing do_thaw_all() out of context, so we can get rid of pdflush.
