| |
By prioritizing sync I/Os, btrfs calls btrfs_map_block() for blocks allocated later before calling the function allocated earlier. By the disorder of calling btrfs_map_block(), syncing on I/Os on larger LBAs sometime wait for I/Os on smaller LBAs.
Since active checksum worker is limited to some specified number, it is possible to wait for non-starting checksum on smaller LBAs. In such situation, transactions are stucked waiting for I/Os on smaller LBAs to finish, which is never finished.
This situation can be reproduced by e.g. fstests btrfs/073.
To avoid such disordering, disable sync IO prioritization for now. In the future, it will be reworked to finish checksumming of I/Os on smaller I/Os on committing a transaction.
