From 88bf5184fa5861e766e39fd34fc6d21557ac7be8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Thornber Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 15:39:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dm cache: wake the worker thread every time we free a migration object When the cache is idle, writeback work was only being issued every second. With this change outstanding writebacks are streamed constantly. This offers a writeback performance improvement.
