Subject: [LSF/MM TOPIC] Writeback - current state and future
Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 17:42:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110204164222.GG4104@quack.suse.cz> (raw)
Hi,
I'd like to have one session about writeback. The content would highly
depend on the current state of things but on a general level, I'd like to
quickly sum up what went into the kernel (or is mostly ready to go) since
last LSF (handling of background writeback, livelock avoidance), what is
being worked on - IO-less balance_dirty_pages() (if it won't be in the
mostly done section), what other things need to be improved (kswapd
writeout, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() mess, come to my mind now)
Honza
