Hello,
Changes from the last take[L] are
* Rebased on top of block/for-4.2/core.
While the previous patchset[1] implemented cgroup writeback support,
the IO back pressure propagation mechanism implemented in
balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines isn't yet aware of cgroup
writeback.
Processes belonging to a memcg may have access to only subset of total
memory available in the system and not factoring this into dirty
throttling rendered it completely ineffective for processes under
memcg limits and memcg ended up building a separate ad-hoc degenerate
mechanism directly into vmscan code to limit page dirtying.
This patchset refactors the dirty throttling logic implemented in
balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines os that it can handle both
global and memcg memory domains. Dirty throttling mechanism is
applied against both the global and memcg constraints and the more
restricted of the two is used for actual throttling.
This makes the dirty throttling mechanism operational for memcg
domains including writeback-bandwidth-proportional dirty page
distribution inside them.
This patchset contains the following 19 patches.
