Subject: [PATCH 17/18] writeback: trace event writeback_queue_io
Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 05:45:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110519214746.416139673@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110519214530.939830917@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.
