[PATCH 17/18] writeback: trace event writeback_queue_io

[Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: writeback-trace-queue_io.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3472 bytes --]

Note that it adds a little overheads to account the moved/enqueued
inodes from b_dirty to b_io. The "moved" accounting may be later used to
limit the number of inodes that can be moved in one shot, in order to
keep spinlock hold time under control.
