Subject: [PATCH 12/27] nfs: lower writeback threshold proportionally to dirty threshold
Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:45:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110303074950.195446002@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110303064505.718671603@intel.com
[-- Attachment #1: nfs-congestion-thresh.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2288 bytes --]
nfs_congestion_kb is to control the max allowed writeback and in-commit
pages. It's not reasonable for them to outnumber dirty and to-commit
pages. So each of them should not take more than 1/4 dirty threshold.
Considering that nfs_init_writepagecache() is called on fresh boot,
at the time dirty_thresh is much higher than the real dirty limit after
lots of user space memory consumptions, use 1/8 instead.
We might update nfs_congestion_kb when global dirty limit is changed
at runtime, but whatever, do it simple first.
