The patch titled Subject: fuse: remove reliance on bdi congestion has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fuse-remove-reliance-on-bdi-congestion.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Subject: fuse: remove reliance on bdi congestion The bdi congestion tracking in not widely used and will be removed. Fuse is one of a small number of filesystems that uses it, setting both the sync (read) and async (write) congestion flags at what it determines are appropriate times. The only remaining effect of the sync flag is to cause read-ahead to be skipped. The only remaining effect of the async flag is to cause (some) WB_SYNC_NONE writes to be skipped. So instead of setting the flags, change: - .readahead to stop when it has submitted all non-async pages for read. - .writepages to do nothing if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag would be set - .writepage to return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag would be set. The writepages change causes a behavioural change in that pageout() can now return PAGE_ACTIVATE instead of PAGE_KEEP, so SetPageActive() will be called on the page which (I think) will further delay the next attempt at writeout. This might be a good thing.
