writeback: introduce max-pause and pass-good dirty limits
The max-pause limit helps to keep the sleep time inside
balance_dirty_pages() within MAX_PAUSE=200ms. The 200ms max sleep means
per task rate limit of 8pages/200ms=160KB/s when dirty exceeded, which
normally is enough to stop dirtiers from continue pushing the dirty
pages high, unless there are a sufficient large number of slow dirtiers
(eg. 500 tasks doing 160KB/s will still sum up to 80MB/s, exceeding the
write bandwidth of a slow disk and hence accumulating more and more dirty
pages).
The pass-good limit helps to let go of the good bdi's in the presence of
a blocked bdi (ie. NFS server not responding) or slow USB disk which for
some reason build up a large number of initial dirty pages that refuse
to go away anytime soon.
For example, given two bdi's A and B and the initial state
The (bdi_dirty_B < bdi_thresh_B) test is now useless and the dirty pages
will be effectively throttled by condition (nr_dirty < dirty_thresh).
This has two problems:
(1) we lose the protections for light dirtiers
(2) balance_dirty_pages() effectively becomes IO-less because the
(bdi_nr_reclaimable > bdi_thresh) test won't be true. This is good
for IO, but balance_dirty_pages() loses an important way to break
out of the loop which leads to more spread out throttle delays.
DIRTY_PASSGOOD_AREA can eliminate the above issues. The only problem is,
DIRTY_PASSGOOD_AREA needs to be defined as 2 to fully cover the above
example while this patch uses the more conservative value 8 so as not to
surprise people with too many dirty pages than expected.
The max-pause limit won't noticeably impact the speed dirty pages are
knocked down when there is a sudden drop of global/bdi dirty thresholds.
Because the heavy dirties will be throttled below 160KB/s which is slow
enough. It does help to avoid long dirty throttle delays and especially
will make light dirtiers more responsive.

writeback: introduce smoothed global dirty limit
The start of a heavy weight application (ie. KVM) may instantly knock
down determine_dirtyable_memory() if the swap is not enabled or full.
global_dirty_limits() and bdi_dirty_limit() will in turn get global/bdi
dirty thresholds that are _much_ lower than the global/bdi dirty pages.
balance_dirty_pages() will then heavily throttle all dirtiers including
the light ones, until the dirty pages drop below the new dirty thresholds.
During this _deep_ dirty-exceeded state, the system may appear rather
unresponsive to the users.
About "deep" dirty-exceeded: task_dirty_limit() assigns 1/8 lower dirty
threshold to heavy dirtiers than light ones, and the dirty pages will
be throttled around the heavy dirtiers' dirty threshold and reasonably
below the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. In this state, only the heavy
dirtiers will be throttled and the dirty pages are carefully controlled
to not exceed the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. However if the
threshold itself suddenly drops below the number of dirty pages, the
light dirtiers will get heavily throttled.
So introduce global_dirty_limit for tracking the global dirty threshold
with policies
- follow downwards slowly
- follow up in one shot
global_dirty_limit can effectively mask out the impact of sudden drop of
dirtyable memory. It will be used in the next patch for two new type of
dirty limits. Note that the new dirty limits are not going to avoid
throttling the light dirtiers, but could limit their sleep time to 200ms.

writeback: bdi write bandwidth estimation
The estimation value will start from 100MB/s and adapt to the real
bandwidth in seconds.
It tries to update the bandwidth only when disk is fully utilized.
Any inactive period of more than one second will be skipped.
The estimated bandwidth will be reflecting how fast the device can
writeout when _fully utilized_, and won't drop to 0 when it goes idle.
The value will remain constant at disk idle time. At busy write time, if
not considering fluctuations, it will also remain high unless be knocked
down by possible concurrent reads that compete for the disk time and
bandwidth with async writes.
The estimation is not done purely in the flusher because there is no
guarantee for write_cache_pages() to return timely to update bandwidth.
The bdi->avg_write_bandwidth smoothing is very effective for filtering
out sudden spikes, however may be a little biased in long term.
The overheads are low because the bdi bandwidth update only occurs at
200ms intervals.
The 200ms update interval is suitable, because it's not possible to get
the real bandwidth for the instance at all, due to large fluctuations.
The NFS commits can be as large as seconds worth of data. One XFS
completion may be as large as half second worth of data if we are going
to increase the write chunk to half second worth of data. In ext4,
fluctuations with time period of around 5 seconds is observed. And there
is another pattern of irregular periods of up to 20 seconds on SSD tests.
That's why we are not only doing the estimation at 200ms intervals, but
also averaging them over a period of 3 seconds and then go further to do
another level of smoothing in avg_write_bandwidth.

writeback: skip balance_dirty_pages() for in-memory fs
This avoids unnecessary checks and dirty throttling on tmpfs/ramfs.
Notes about the tmpfs/ramfs behavior changes:
As for 2.6.36 and older kernels, the tmpfs writes will sleep inside
balance_dirty_pages() as long as we are over the (dirty+background)/2
global throttle threshold. This is because both the dirty pages and
threshold will be 0 for tmpfs/ramfs. Hence this test will always
evaluate to TRUE:
So 2.6.37 will behave differently for tmpfs/ramfs: it will never get
throttled unless the global dirty threshold is exceeded (which is very
unlikely to happen; once happen, will block many tasks).
I'd say that the 2.6.36 behavior is very bad for tmpfs/ramfs. It means
for a busy writing server, tmpfs write()s may get livelocked! The
"inadvertent" throttling can hardly bring help to any workload because
of its "either no throttling, or get throttled to death" property.
So based on 2.6.37, this patch won't bring more noticeable changes.

There is no point to carry different refill policies between for_kupdate
and other type of works. Use a consistent "refill b_io iff empty" policy
which can guarantee fairness in an easy to understand way.
A b_io refill will setup a _fixed_ work set with all currently eligible
inodes and start a new round of walk through b_io. The "fixed" work set
means no new inodes will be added to the work set during the walk.
Only when a complete walk over b_io is done, new inodes that are
eligible at the time will be enqueued and the walk be started over.
This procedure provides fairness among the inodes because it guarantees
each inode to be synced once and only once at each round. So all inodes
will be free from starvations.
This change relies on wb_writeback() to keep retrying as long as we made
some progress on cleaning some pages and/or inodes. Without that ability,
the old logic on background works relies on aggressively queuing all
eligible inodes into b_io at every time. But that's not a guarantee.
The below test script completes a slightly faster now:
2.6.39-rc3 2.6.39-rc3-dyn-expire+
------------------------------------------------
all elapsed 256.043 252.367

It maintains roughly the same small vs. large file writeout shares, and
offers large files better chances to be written in nice 4M chunks.
Analyzes from Dave Chinner in great details:
Let's say we have lots of inodes with 100 dirty pages being created,
and one large writeback going on. We expire 8 new inodes for every
1024 pages we write back.
Rough progression of pages written at b_io refill:
Old code:
total large file % of writeback
1024 224 21.9% (fixed)
New code:
total large file % of writeback
1800 1024 ~55%
2550 1024 ~40%
3050 1024 ~33%
3500 1024 ~29%
3950 1024 ~26%
4250 1024 ~24%
4500 1024 ~22.7%
4700 1024 ~21.7%
4800 1024 ~21.3%
4800 1024 ~21.3%
(pretty much steady state from here)
Ok, so the steady state is reached with a similar percentage of
writeback to the large file as the existing code. Ok, that's good,
but providing some evidence that is doesn't change the shared of
writeback to the large should be in the commit message ;)
The other advantage to this is that we always write 1024 page chunks
to the large file, rather than smaller "whatever remains" chunks.

writeback: the kupdate expire timestamp should be a moving target
Dynamically compute the dirty expire timestamp at queue_io() time.
writeback_control.older_than_this used to be determined at entrance to
the kupdate writeback work. This _static_ timestamp may go stale if the
kupdate work runs on and on. The flusher may then stuck with some old
busy inodes, never considering newly expired inodes thereafter.
This has two possible problems:
- It is unfair for a large dirty inode to delay (for a long time) the
writeback of small dirty inodes.
- As time goes by, the large and busy dirty inode may contain only
_freshly_ dirtied pages. Ignoring newly expired dirty inodes risks
delaying the expired dirty pages to the end of LRU lists, triggering
the evil pageout(). Nevertheless this patch merely addresses part
of the problem.
v2: keep policy changes inside wb_writeback() and keep the
wbc.older_than_this visibility as suggested by Dave.

writeback: try more writeback as long as something was written
writeback_inodes_wb()/__writeback_inodes_sb() are not aggressive in that
they only populate possibly a subset of eligible inodes into b_io at
entrance time. When the queued set of inodes are all synced, they just
return, possibly with all queued inode pages written but still
wbc.nr_to_write > 0.
For kupdate and background writeback, there may be more eligible inodes
sitting in b_dirty when the current set of b_io inodes are completed. So
it is necessary to try another round of writeback as long as we made some
progress in this round. When there are no more eligible inodes, no more
inodes will be enqueued in queue_io(), hence nothing could/will be
synced and we may safely bail.
For example, imagine 100 inodes
i0, i1, i2, ..., i90, i91, i99
At queue_io() time, i90-i99 happen to be expired and moved to s_io for
IO. When finished successfully, if their total size is less than
MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES, nr_to_write will be > 0. Then wb_writeback() will
quit the background work (w/o this patch) while it's still over
background threshold. This will be a fairly normal/frequent case I guess.
Now that we do tagged sync and update inode->dirtied_when after the sync,
this change won't livelock sync(1). I actually tried to write 1 page
per 1ms with this command
write-and-fsync -n10000 -S 1000 -c 4096 /fs/test
and do sync(1) at the same time. The sync completes quickly on ext4,
xfs, btrfs.

So introduce writeback_control.inodes_written to count the inodes get

writeback, in which case more writeback can be tried.

writeback: update dirtied_when for synced inode to prevent livelock
Explicitly update .dirtied_when on synced inodes, so that they are no
longer considered for writeback in the next round.
It can prevent both of the following livelock schemes:
- while true; do echo data >> f; done
- while true; do touch f; done (in theory)
The exact livelock condition is, during sync(1):
(1) no new inodes are dirtied
(2) an inode being actively dirtied
On (2), the inode will be tagged and synced with .nr_to_write=LONG_MAX.
When finished, it will be redirty_tail()ed because it's still dirty
and (.nr_to_write > 0). redirty_tail() won't update its ->dirtied_when
on condition (1). The sync work will then revisit it on the next
queue_io() and find it eligible again because its old ->dirtied_when
predates the sync work start time.
We'll do more aggressive "keep writeback as long as we wrote something"
logic in wb_writeback(). The "use LONG_MAX .nr_to_write" trick in commit b9543dac5bbc ("writeback: avoid livelocking WB_SYNC_ALL writeback") will
no longer be enough to stop sync livelock.

sync(2) is performed in two stages: the WB_SYNC_NONE sync and the

Jan's commit f446daaea9 ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance

WB_SYNC_ALL phase livelock.
Although ext4 is tested to no longer livelock with commit f446daaea9,
it may due to some "redirty_tail() after pages_skipped" effect which
is by no means a guarantee for _all_ the file systems.
Note that writeback_inodes_sb() is called by not only sync(), they are

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.
It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").
It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.
And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
"It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a
large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
data in the quoted bits further down).
...
Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
process that could have emptied the PTY."
which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.
Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

However, in case of failures during commit the counters were corrupted. E.g.,
if a failure happens in the middle of 'write_index()', then some nodes in the

the 'ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree()' frees does not retrun correct count, and we

means that the frame was sent by a mesh sta.
However, these capabilities are also being used in the p2p_find phase,
and the mesh-validation broke it.
Rename the WLAN_CAPABILITY_IS_MBSS macro, and verify that mesh ies
exist before assuming this frame was sent by a mesh sta.

hwmon: (coretemp) Relax target temperature range check
The current temperature range check of MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET
seems too strict to me, some TjMax values documented in
Documentation/hwmon/coretemp wouldn't pass. Relax the check so that
all the documented values pass.
