Subject: Re: [patch 3/5] mm: try to distribute dirty pages fairly across

Sorry I find out that the CPU time regressions for btrfs are caused by
some additional trace events enabled on btrfs (for debugging an
unrelated btrfs hang bug) which results in 7 times more trace event
lines:
2701238 /export/writeback/thresh=1000M/btrfs-1dd-4k-8p-2941M-1000M:10-3.1.0-rc9-ioless-full-nfs-wq5-next-20111014+

So no real regressions.
Besides, the patchset also performs good on random writes:
3.1.0-rc9-ioless-full-nfs-wq5-next-20111014+ 3.1.0-rc9-ioless-full-per-zone-dirty-next-20111014+

In summary, I see no problem at all in these trivial writeback tests.
