From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx> These are counters that constantly go up in order to do bandwidth calculations. It isn't important what the units are in, as long as they are consistent between the two of them, so convert them to count bytes written/dirtied, and allow the metadata accounting stuff to change the counters as well. Additionally, scale WB_STAT_BATCH based on whether we are incrementing byte-based or page-based counters. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@xxxxxxxx> --- Changes since previous posting [1]: - Incorporated Jan Kara's feedback to rename __wb_writeout_inc to __wb_writeout_add. - Eliminated IRQ clustering in account_page_dirtied() by converting inc_wb_stat to __add_wb_stat since the latter is already irq-safe. This was requested by Tejun. - After talking privately with Jan he mentioned that the way the percpu counters were used to account bytes could lead to constant hit of the slow path. This is due to the WB_STAT_BATCH not being scaled for bytes. I've implemented a very simple logic to do that in __add_wb_stat - Forward ported to 4.12.-rc6 One thing which will likely have to change with this patch is the fact that currently wb_completion count assume that each completion has done 4k worth of pages. With subpage blocksize however a completion needn't have written 4k. As such he suggested to convert the accounting in wb_domain to explicitly track number of bytes written in a period and not completions per-period. He was afraid of skewing happening. Tejun, what's your take on that ? This patch had an ack from Tejun previously but due to my changes I haven't added it.
