[PATCH] dm-kcopyd: monitor io activity

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi

Here I'm sending three patches that limit kcopyd speed. There is global 
limit for all kcopyds running in a system. The user can set percentage of 
kcopyd speed in /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/dm_kcopyd_throttle

dm-kcopyd: monitor io activity

There are two activity counters, "total_period" and "io_period".
total_period counts all time ticks, io_period counts timer ticks when
some I/O is active.

Thus, (100 * io_period / total_period) represents the percentage of
time when kcopyd is active.
