Fix compile error due to congestion_wait() changes

2009-07-11T18:22:26Z

Move the definition of BLK_RW_ASYNC/BLK_RW_SYNC into linux/backing-dev.h so that it is available to all callers of set/clear_bdi_congested(). This replaces commit 097041e576ee3a50d92dd643ee8ca65bf6a62e21 ("fuse: Fix build error"), which will be reverted.

Fix congestion_wait() sync/async vs read/write confusion

2009-07-10T18:31:53Z

Commit 1faa16d22877f4839bd433547d770c676d1d964c accidentally broke the bdi congestion wait queue logic, causing us to wait on congestion for WRITE (== 1) when we really wanted BLK_RW_ASYNC (== 0) instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: change the request allocation/congestion logic to be sync/async based

2009-04-06T15:04:53Z

This makes sure that we never wait on async IO for sync requests, instead of doing the split on writes vs reads. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets

2008-10-20T15:50:25Z

Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

mm: bdi: add separate writeback accounting capability

2008-04-30T15:29:50Z

Add a new BDI capability flag: BDI_CAP_NO_ACCT_WB. If this flag is set, then don't update the per-bdi writeback stats from test_set_page_writeback() and test_clear_page_writeback(). Misc cleanups: - convert bdi_cap_writeback_dirty() and friends to static inline functions - create a flag that includes all three dirty/writeback related flags, since almst all users will want to have them toghether Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

2008-04-30T15:29:50Z

Move BDI statistics to debugfs: /sys/kernel/debug/bdi//stats Use postcore_initcall() to initialize the sysfs class and debugfs, because debugfs is initialized in core_initcall().

2008-04-30T15:29:50Z

Add "max_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the maximum percentage of the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi. [mszeredi@suse.cz] - fix parsing in max_ratio_store(). - export bdi_set_max_ratio() to modules - limit bdi_dirty with bdi->max_ratio - document new sysfs attribute Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: bdi: allow setting a minimum for the bdi dirty limit

2008-04-30T15:29:50Z

Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other devices. min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to a particular device. This is useful in situations where you might want to provide a minimum QoS. (One request for this feature came from flash based storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course needed some pdflush hacks as well) max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a particular device. This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one device taking all or most of the write-back cache. Eg. an NFS mount that is prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair. Add "min_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the minimum percentage of the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs

2008-04-30T15:29:49Z

Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object. This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables. In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant users and /sys/block//queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated. With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH [mszeredi@suse.cz] - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI won't be initialized - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 warning] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Kay Sievers Acked-by: Greg KH Cc: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
