[Ocfs2-devel] [RESNET PATCH 1/4] ocfs2: submit disk heartbeat bio using WRITE_SYNC

[Jeff Liu]

From: Noboru Iwamatsu <n_iwamatsu at jp.fujitsu.com>

Under heavy I/O load, writing the disk heartbeat can be
forced to wait for minutes, and this causes the node to
be fenced.

This patch tries to use WRITE_SYNC in submitting the heartbeat
bio, so that writing the heartbeat will have a priority over
other requests.
