Arnd Bergmann	4121d385f1	blk-wbt: fix old-style function declaration ... The newly added driver causes a harmless warning in some configurations: block/blk-wbt.c:250:1: error: ‘inline’ is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration] static bool inline stat_sample_valid(struct blk_rq_stat *stat) This makes it use the expected format for the declaration.

Jens Axboe	382cf633ed	blk-wbt: use BLK_STAT_{READ,WRITE} instead of 0/1 ... Since we have proper enums for the stats directions, use them. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>	2016-11-11 16:18:29 -07:00
Jens Axboe	8054b89f8f	blk-wbt: remove stat ops ... Again a leftover from when the throttling code was generic. Now that we just have the block user, get rid of the stat ops and indirections. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>	2016-11-11 16:18:24 -07:00
Jens Axboe	d8a0cbfd73	blk-wbt: store queue instead of bdi ... The bdi was a leftover from when the code was block layer agnostic. Now that we just support a block layer user, store the queue directly. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>	2016-11-11 16:18:18 -07:00
Jens Axboe	e34cbd3074	blk-wbt: add general throttling mechanism ... We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered writes. wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is happening in the system: wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318 wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1, wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57 wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32 This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the device, 259:0 in this case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>	2016-11-10 13:53:32 -07:00
