Ticket #9924: 0001-dev.laptop.org-9924-remove-O_SYNC-on-log-file-open-t.patch

File 0001-dev.laptop.org-9924-remove-O_SYNC-on-log-file-open-t.patch, 1.1 kB (added by Quozl, 3 years ago)

This workaround applied to activityfactory.py was tested with strace to verify that open(2) is no longer given O_SYNC, and the Terminal activity had consistent startup times.

Subject: [PATCH] dev.laptop.org #9924: remove O_SYNC on log file open, tentative

Removes the O_SYNC on opening of log files, which on systems with slow
filesystem random write performance results in a more consistent
activity startup time.
