[PATCH v3 02/15] dax: increase granularity of dax_clear_blocks() operations

From: Dan Williams
Date: Sun Nov 01 2015 - 23:36:13 EST


dax_clear_blocks is currently performing a cond_resched() after every
PAGE_SIZE memset. We need not check so frequently, for example md-raid
only calls cond_resched() at stripe granularity. Also, in preparation
for introducing a dax_map_atomic() operation that temporarily pins a dax
mapping move the call to cond_resched() to the outer loop.
