Subject[PATCH 01/12] GFS2: Sort buffer lists by inplace block number
Date
From: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com>

This patch simply sort the data and metadata buffer lists by their
inplace block number. This makes gfs2_log_flush issue the inplace IO
in sequential order, which will hopefully speed up writing the IO
out to disk.
