Hi Kemeng,

Maybe some whitespace or something between entries would improve
readability?

If you did something like the following here, wouldn't that also zero
the rest of the structure?
struct wb_stats stats = { .dirty_thresh = dirty_thresh };
> + collect_wb_stats(&stats, wb);

Also, similar question as before on whether you'd want to check
WB_registered or something here..

Can you explain what this logic is about? Is the cgwb_calc_thresh()
thing not needed in this case? A comment might help for those less
familiar with the implementation details.
BTW, I'm also wondering if something like the following is correct
and/or roughly equivalent:
list_for_each_*(wb, ...) {
struct wb_stats stats = ...;
if (!wb_tryget(wb))
continue;
collect_wb_stats(&stats, wb);
/*
* Extra wb_thresh magic. Drop rcu lock because ... . We
* can do so here because we have a ref.
*/
if (mem_cgroup_wb_domain(wb)) {
rcu_read_unlock();
stats.wb_thresh = min(stats.wb_thresh, cgwb_calc_thresh(wb));
rcu_read_lock();
}
wb_stats_show(m, wb, &stats)
wb_put(wb);
}

Could we just create the wb_stats file regardless of whether cgwb is
enabled? Obviously theres only one wb in the !CGWB case and it's
somewhat duplicative with the bdi stats file, but that seems harmless if
the same code can be reused..? Maybe there's also a small argument for
dropping the state info from the bdi stats file and moving it to
wb_stats.
