From ad3fee790088d36ad862e31535b5b99c25adeef4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Ellenberg Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 11:22:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drbd: improve throttling decisions of background resynchronisation Background resynchronisation does some "side-stepping", or throttles itself, if it detects application IO activity, and the current resync rate estimate is above the configured "cmin-rate". What was not detected: if there is no application IO, because it blocks on activity log transactions. Introduce a new atomic_t ap_actlog_cnt, tracking such blocked requests, and count non-zero as application IO activity. This counter is exposed at proc_details level 2 and above. Also make sure to release the currently locked resync extent if we side-step due to such voluntary throttling.
