This patch fixes an inefficiency and potential system lockup in the 2.4 kernel's ext3 filesystem. The problem has been present since 2.4.20-pre5. This patch is applicable to 2.4.20. A copy is at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.4/2.4.20/ext3-scheduling-storm.patch Anyone who is using tasks which have realtime scheduling policy on ext3 systems should apply this change. Details: At the start of do_get_write_access() we have this logic: repeat: lock_buffer(jh->bh); ... unlock_buffer(jh->bh);...
