Subject: [PATCH 2/3] writeback: per bdi monitoring
To allow users and applications to gain visibility into the writeback
behaviour debugfs files are moved into /sys. bdi granularity
of visibility is important to root cause both rogue user apps and/or
kernel issues.
This patch converts bdi debug files of bdi into
/sys/block/<dev>/bdi/writeback.
# cat /sys/class/block/sda/bdi/writeback
BdiWriteback: 0 kB
BdiReclaimable: 96 kB
BdiDirtyThresh: 2117144 kB
DirtyThresh: 12192420 kB
BackgroundThresh: 1625656 kB
WritebackThreads: 1
WorkWaiting: 0
InodesOnDirty: 37
InodesOnIo: 0
InodesOnMoreIo: 0
wb_mask: 1
wb_cnt: 1
Also it adds a sys file for the bdi state in
/sys/block/<block>/bdi/state. The file will expose the state of
the bdi in a comma separated list.
# cat /sys/class/block/sda/bdi/state
registered,sync_congested
TESTED:
Injected false states in the code stream to ensure the state file worked
correctly. Then removed false states.
Performed IO on different disks to see the correct writeback values
fluctuate and report what was expected.
