From 9fc3a43e1757ab6de0e8ce83b5d5a83083174e3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 18:23:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] writeback: separate out domain_dirty_limits() global_dirty_limits() calculates thresh and bg_thresh (confusingly called *pdirty and *pbackground in the function) assuming global_wb_domain; however, cgroup writeback support requires considering per-memcg wb_domain too. This patch separates out domain_dirty_limits() which takes dirty_throttle_control out of global_dirty_limits(). As thresh and bg_thresh calculation needs the amount of dirtyable memory in the domain, dirty_throttle_control->avail is added. The new function calculates the two thresholds and store them directly in the dirty_throttle_control. Also, as memcg domains can't follow vm_dirty_bytes and dirty_background_bytes settings directly. If those are set and domain_dirty_limits() is invoked for a !global domain, the settings are translated to ratios by scaling them against globally available memory. dirty_throttle_control->gdtc is added to enable this when CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. global_dirty_limits() is now a thin wrapper around domain_dirty_limits() and balance_dirty_pages() is updated to use the new function too. This patch doesn't introduce any behavioral changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Jan Kara Cc: Wu Fengguang Cc: Greg Thelen Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-format-patch failed
