[PATCH] mm/page-writeback: introduce tracepoint for wait_on_page_writeback

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

 



Recently there're some hungtasks on our server due to
wait_on_page_writeback, and we want to know the details of this
PG_writeback, i.e. this page is writing back to which device.
But it is not so convenient to get the details.

I think it would be better to introduce a tracepoint for diagnosing
the writeback details.
