mm: don't include in

2021-10-18T12:17:01Z

blk-cgroup.h pulls in blkdev.h and thus pretty much all the block headers. Break this dependency chain by turning wbc_blkcg_css into a macro and dropping the blk-cgroup.h include.

mm/writeback: Add folio_redirty_for_writepage()

2021-10-18T11:49:40Z

Reimplement redirty_page_for_writepage() as a wrapper around folio_redirty_for_writepage(). Account the number of pages in the folio, add kernel-doc and move the prototype to writeback.h.

mm/writeback: Add folio_account_redirty()

2021-10-18T11:49:40Z

Account the number of pages in the folio that we're redirtying. Turn account_page_dirty() into a wrapper around it. Also turn the comment on folio_account_redirty() into kernel-doc and edit it slightly so it makes sense to its potential callers.

Reimplement __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() as a wrapper around filemap_dirty_folio(). Eventually folio_mark_dirty() will pass the folio's mapping to the address space's ->dirty_folio() operation, so add the parameter to filemap_dirty_folio() now.

writeback: memcg: simplify cgroup_writeback_by_id

2021-09-03T16:58:10Z

Currently cgroup_writeback_by_id calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to get dirty pages for a memcg. However mem_cgroup_wb_stats() does a lot more than just get the number of dirty pages. Just directly get the number of dirty pages instead of calling mem_cgroup_wb_stats(). Also cgroup_writeback_by_id() is only called for best-effort dirty flushing, so remove the unused 'nr' parameter and no need to explicitly flush memcg stats.

writeback: fix bandwidth estimate for spiky workload

2021-09-03T16:58:10Z

Michael Stapelberg has reported that for workload with short big spikes of writes (GCC linker seem to trigger this frequently) the write throughput is heavily underestimated and tends to steadily sink until it reaches zero. This has rather bad impact on writeback throttling (causing stalls). The problem is that writeback throughput estimate gets updated at most once per 200 ms. One update happens early after we submit pages for writeback (at that point writeout of only small fraction of pages is completed and thus observed throughput is tiny). Next update happens only during the next write spike (updates happen only from inode writeback and dirty throttling code) and if that is more than 1s after previous spike, we decide system was idle and just ignore whatever was written until this moment. Fix the problem by making sure writeback throughput estimate is also updated shortly after writeback completes to get reasonable estimate of throughput for spiky workloads.

writeback: reliably update bandwidth estimation

2021-09-03T16:58:10Z

Currently we trigger writeback bandwidth estimation from balance_dirty_pages() and from wb_writeback(). However neither of these need to trigger when the system is relatively idle and writeback is triggered e.g. from fsync(2). Make sure writeback estimates happen reliably by triggering them from do_writepages().
