ocfs2: add a mount option journal_async_commit on ocfs2 filesystem
Add a mount option to support JBD2 feature: JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT. When this feature is opened, journal commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks, which can improve journal commit performance. This option will enable 'journal_checksum' internally. Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50% improvement, the files per second go up from 215.2 to 317.5. test script: fs_mark -d /mnt/ocfs2/ -s 10240 -n 1000 default: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 0 1000 10240 215.2 17878 with journal_async_commit option: FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead 0 1000 10240 317.5 17881 Signed-off-by: Alex Chen <alex.chen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Weiwei Wang <wangww631@huawei.comm> Reviewed-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.de> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
