Currently, dirty writeback is under global control. We can tune it by
parameters in /proc/sys/vm/
- dirty_expire_centisecs: expire interval in centiseconds
- dirty_writeback_centisecs: periodcal writeback interval in centiseconds
- dirty_background_bytes/dirty_background_ratio: async writeback
threshold
- dirty_bytes/dirty_ratio: sync writeback threshold
Sometimes, we'd like to specify special wrtiteback policy for user
application, especially for offline application in co-location scenerio.
This patch provides dirty flush policy per memcg, user can specify them
in memcg interface.
Actually, writeback code maintains two dimensions of dirty pages control in
balance_dirty_pages.
- gdtc for global control
- mdtc for cgroup control
When dirty pages is under both of control, it leaves the check quickly.
Otherwise, it computes the wb threshold (along with bg_threshold) taking
the writeout bandwidth into consideration. And computes position ratio
against wb_thresh for both global control and cgroup control as well.
After that, it takes the smaller one (IOW the strict one) as the factor
to generate task ratelimit based on wb's dirty_ratelimit.
So far, the writeback code can control the dirty limit for both global
view and cgroup view. That means the framework works well for controlling
cgroup's dirty limit.
This patch only provides an extra interface for memcg to tune writeback
behavior.
