Subject: [PATCH 04/18] writeback: move global_dirty_limit into wb_domain
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 01:07:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427087267-16592-5-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427087267-16592-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org>
This patch is a part of the series to define wb_domain which
represents a domain that wb's (bdi_writeback's) belong to and are
measured against each other in. This will enable IO backpressure
propagation for cgroup writeback.
global_dirty_limit exists to regulate the global dirty threshold which
is a property of the wb_domain. This patch moves hard_dirty_limit,
dirty_lock, and update_time into wb_domain.
This is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any behavioral
changes.
