[PATCH] mm: account NR_WRITTEN at IO completion time

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

 



NR_WRITTEN is now accounted at block IO enqueue time, which is not
very accurate as to common understanding. This moves NR_WRITTEN
accounting to the IO completion time and makes it more consistent
with BDI_WRITTEN, which is used for bandwidth estimation.
