Subject: [PATCH 47/51] writeback: make writeback initiation functions handle multiple bdi_writeback's
Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 17:14:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432329245-5844-48-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1432329245-5844-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org>

[try_]writeback_inodes_sb[_nr]() and sync_inodes_sb() currently only
handle dirty inodes on the root wb (bdi_writeback) of the target bdi.
This patch implements bdi_split_work_to_wbs() and use it to make these
functions handle multiple wb's.

bdi_split_work_to_wbs() takes a base wb_writeback_work and create
clones of it and issue them to the wb's of the target bdi.  The base
work's nr_pages is distributed using wb_split_bdi_pages() -
ie. according to each wb's write bandwidth's proportion in the bdi.

Cloning a bdi involves memory allocation which may fail.  In such
cases, bdi_split_work_to_wbs() issues the base work directly and waits
for its completion before proceeding to the next wb to guarantee
forward progress and correctness under memory pressure.
