From 76828c882630ced08b5ddce22cc0095b05de9bc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 12:27:47 -0400 Subject: ext4: yield during large unlinks During large unlink operations on files with extents, we can use a lot of CPU time. This adds a cond_resched() call when starting to examine the next level of a multi-level extent tree. Multi-level extent trees are rare in the first place, and this should rarely be executed.
