Subject: writeback: add wb_monitor.py script to monitor writeback info on bdi
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 00:48:07 +0800
Add wb_monitor.py script to monitor writeback information on backing dev
which makes it easier and more convenient to observe writeback behaviors
of running system.
The wb_monitor.py script is written based on wq_monitor.py.
Following domain hierarchy is tested:
global domain (320G)
/ \
cgroup domain1(10G) cgroup domain2(10G)
| |
bdi wb1 wb2
The wb_monitor.py script output is as following:
/wb_monitor.py 252:16 -c
writeback reclaimable dirtied written avg_bw
252:16_1 0 0 0 0 102400
252:16_4284 672 820064 9230368 8410304 685612
252:16_4325 896 819840 10491264 9671648 652348
252:16 1568 1639904 19721632 18081952 1440360
writeback reclaimable dirtied written avg_bw
