From c9c129714e71c890bed1bd5b61697a896c3c2d54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 11:49:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: Don't wake xfsbufd when idle The xfsbufd wakes every xfsbufd_centisecs (once per second by default) for each filesystem even when the filesystem is idle. If the xfsbufd has nothing to do, put it into a long term sleep and only wake it up when there is work pending (i.e. dirty buffers to flush soon). This will make laptop power misers happy.
