[PATCH 6.4 715/800] writeback: account the number of pages written back

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

 



From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 8344a3d44be3d18671e18c4ba23bb03dd21e14ad ]

nr_to_write is a count of pages, so we need to decrease it by the number
of pages in the folio we just wrote, not by 1.  Most callers specify
either LONG_MAX or 1, so are unaffected, but writeback_sb_inodes() might
end up writing 512x as many pages as it asked for.

Dave added:

: XFS is the only filesystem this would affect, right?  AFAIA, nothing
: else enables large folios and uses writeback through
: write_cache_pages() at this point...
:
: In which case, I'd be surprised if much difference, if any, gets
: noticed by anyone.
