From 5c25699871112853f231e52d51c576d5c759a020 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig hch@lst.de Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2023 06:26:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: don't wait for writeback on clean pages in extent_write_cache_pages
__extent_writepage could have started on more pages than the one it was called for. This happens regularly for zoned file systems, and in theory could happen for compressed I/O if the worker thread was executed very quickly. For such pages extent_write_cache_pages waits for writeback to complete before moving on to the next page, which is highly inefficient as it blocks the flusher thread.
Port over the PageDirty check that was added to write_cache_pages in commit 515f4a037fb ("mm: write_cache_pages optimise page cleaning") to fix this.
