[PATCH 34/45] vfs, writeback: implement support for multiple inode_wb_link's
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Jan 06 2015 - 16:31:36 EST
An inode may be written to from more than one cgroups and for cgroup
writeback support to work properly the inode needs to be on the dirty
lists of all wb's (bdi_writeback's) corresponding to the dirtying
cgroups so that writeback on each cgroup can keep track of and process
the inode.
The previous patches separated out iwbl (inode_wb_link which) is used
to dirty an inode against a wb (bdi_writeback). Currently, there's
only one embedded iwbl per inode which can be used to dirty the inode
against the root wb. This patch introduces icgwbl (inode_cgwb_link)
which includes iwbl and can be used to link an inode to a non-root
cgroup wb.
Each icgwbl points to the associated inode directly and wb through its
iwbl, and is linked on inode->i_cgwb_links and wb->icgwbls. They're
created on demand and destroyed only when either the associated inode
or wb is destroyed. When a page is about to be dirtied, the matching
i[cg]wbl is looked up or created and recorded in the newly added
dirty_context->iwbl field. The next patch will use the field to link
inodes against their matching cgroup wb's.
Currently, icgwbls are linked on a linked list on each inode and
linearly looked up on each dirtying attempt, which is an obvious
scalability bottleneck. We want an RCU-safe balanced tree here but
the kernel doesn't have such indexing structure in tree yet. Given
that dirtying the same inode from numerous different cgroups isn't too
frequent, I think the linear list is a bandaid we can use for now but
we really should switch to something proper (e.g. a bonsai tree) soon.
This patch adds a struct hlist_head to struct inode when
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK adding the size of a pointer to it.
