That's exactly the queue draining we're talking about here. To see
how the pattern gets better use the nobarrier option.
Even with that XFS traditionally has a bad I/O pattern for metadata
intensive workloads due to the amount of log I/O needed for it.
Starting from Linux 2.6.35 the delayed logging code fixes this, and
we hope to enable it by default after about 10 to 12 month of
extensive testing.
Try to re-run your test with
-o delaylog,logbsize=262144
to see better log I/O pattern. If you target doesn't present a volatile
write cache also add the nobarrier option mentioned above.
