Subject: [PATCH 00/18] IO-less dirty throttling v11
Date: Sun, 04 Sep 2011 09:53:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110904015305.367445271@intel.com> (raw)

Hi,

Finally, the complete IO-less balance_dirty_pages(). NFS is observed to perform
better or worse depending on the memory size. Otherwise the added patches can
address all known regressions.

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/writeback.git dirty-throttling-v11
	(to be updated; currently it contains a pre-release v11)

Changes since v10:

- complete the renames
- add protections for IO queue underrun
  - pause time reduction
  - bdi reserve area
  - bdi underrun flag
- more accurate task dirty accounting for
  - sub-page writes
  - FS re-dirties
  - short lived tasks

Changes since v9:

- a lot of renames and comment/changelog rework, again
- seperate out the dirty_ratelimit update policy (as patch 04)
- add think time compensation
- add 3 trace events

Changes since v8:

- a lot of renames and comment/changelog rework
- use 3rd order polynomial as the global control line (Peter)
- stabilize dirty_ratelimit by decreasing update step size on small errors
- limit per-CPU dirtied pages to avoid dirty pages run away on 1k+ tasks (Peter)

Thanks a lot to Peter, Vivek, Andrea and Jan for the careful reviews!
