It seems that way, yes. I do not know how common the holdoffs are in real

from reiserfs to ext2/ext3 actually made a difference - this would tell us
that it is indeed a real-world problem.
Note that this info because available because someone set
/proc/asound/*/*/xrun_debug. We need more people doing that
Can I just point out that the reiserfs3.6 delays that I originally reported
with the preempt threshhold test did not come up once the patch was fixed. I
have my preempt threshold set at 1ms and did not see one single reiserfs
dump in my syslog. ie I don't think I am personally seeing any significant
reiserfs3.6 latencies.

resierfs: yes, it's a problem. I
"fixed" it multiple times in 2.4, but the
fixes ended up breaking the fs in subtle ways and I eventually gave up.
andrew, this is really helpful. should we conclude that until some
announcement from reiser that they have addressed this, the reiserfs
should be avoided on low latency systems?
