Subject: [PATCH 4/4] writeback: expose the bdi_wq workqueue
Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 13:44:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362692649-25570-5-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1362692649-25570-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org>
There are cases where userland wants to tweak the priority and
affinity of writeback flushers. Expose bdi_wq to userland by setting
WQ_SYSFS. It appears under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/writeback/ and
allows adjusting maximum concurrency level, cpumask and nice level.
