788 * A linear estimation of the "balanced" throttle rate. The theory is,
789 * if there are N dd tasks, each throttled at task_ratelimit, the bdi's
790 * dirty_rate will be measured to be (N * task_ratelimit). So the below
791 * formula will yield the balanced rate limit (write_bw / N).
792 *
793 * Note that the expanded form is not a pure rate feedback:
794 * rate_(i+1) = rate_(i) * (write_bw / dirty_rate) (1)
795 * but also takes pos_ratio into account:
796 * rate_(i+1) = rate_(i) * (write_bw / dirty_rate) * pos_ratio (2)
797 *
798 * (1) is not realistic because pos_ratio also takes part in balancing
799 * the dirty rate. Consider the state
800 * pos_ratio = 0.5 (3)
801 * rate = 2 * (write_bw / N) (4)
802 * If (1) is used, it will stuck in that state! Because each dd will
803 * be throttled at
804 * task_ratelimit = pos_ratio * rate = (write_bw / N) (5)
805 * yielding
806 * dirty_rate = N * task_ratelimit = write_bw (6)
807 * put (6) into (1) we get
808 * rate_(i+1) = rate_(i) (7)
809 *
810 * So we end up using (2) to always keep
811 * rate_(i+1) ~= (write_bw / N) (8)
812 * regardless of the value of pos_ratio. As long as (8) is satisfied,
813 * pos_ratio is able to drive itself to 1.0, which is not only where
814 * the dirty count meet the setpoint, but also where the slope of
815 * pos_ratio is most flat and hence task_ratelimit is least fluctuated.

Miklos Szeredi0ea97182007-05-10 22:22:51 -07001482 * If a page is already under I/O, write_cache_pages() skips it, even
David Howells811d7362006-08-29 19:06:09 +01001483 * if it's dirty. This is desirable behaviour for memory-cleaning writeback,
1484 * but it is INCORRECT for data-integrity system calls such as fsync(). fsync()
1485 * and msync() need to guarantee that all the data which was dirty at the time
1486 * the call was made get new I/O started against them. If wbc->sync_mode is
1487 * WB_SYNC_ALL then we were called for data integrity and we must wait for
1488 * existing IO to complete.
Jan Karaf446daae2010-08-09 17:19:12 -07001489 *
1490 * To avoid livelocks (when other process dirties new pages), we first tag
1491 * pages which should be written back with TOWRITE tag and only then start
1492 * writing them. For data-integrity sync we have to be careful so that we do
1493 * not miss some pages (e.g., because some other process has cleared TOWRITE
1494 * tag we set). The rule we follow is that TOWRITE tag can be cleared only
1495 * by the process clearing the DIRTY tag (and submitting the page for IO).
