Subject: [PATCH 3/3] writeback: Add tracing to write_cache_pages
Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 09:41:55 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1278459715-25720-4-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1278459715-25720-1-git-send-email-david@fromorbit.com>
From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
Add a trace event to the ->writepage loop in write_cache_pages to give
visibility into how the ->writepage call is changing variables within the
writeback control structure. Of most interest is how wbc->nr_to_write changes
from call to call, especially with filesystems that write multiple pages
in ->writepage.
