Subject: bdi_min_ratio never shrinks, ultimately preventing valid setting of min_ratio
Date: Tue, 31 May 2011 19:28:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110601002854.GV5753@shells.gnugeneration.com> (raw)
mm/page-writeback.c
There is a static global bdi_min_ratio used for policing the setting of
per-bdi min_ratio's, to ensure the sum doesn't cross 100.
There is no place in this listing where the value is decremented by the
respective bdi's min_ratio when a bdi is torn down. This looks like a bug
to me, and I have a situation where I'm unable to set a min_ratio to 1
where the sum of /sys/class/bdi/*/min_ratio does not add up to 100, which
is what triggered this investigation.
Regards,
Vito Caputo
