The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in userspace trying to access the file system. Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of node coverage twice for the same inode. By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to 60.
