732 * about ~6K pages (as the average of background and throttle bdi
733 * limits). The 3rd order polynomial will provide positive feedback if
734 * bdi_dirty is under bdi_setpoint and vice versa.
735 *
736 * Note, that we cannot use global counters in these calculations
737 * because we want to throttle process writing to a strictlimit BDI
738 * much earlier than global "freerun" is reached (~23MB vs. ~2.3GB

David Howells811d7362006-08-29 19:06:09 +01001851 * if it's dirty. This is desirable behaviour for memory-cleaning writeback,
1852 * but it is INCORRECT for data-integrity system calls such as fsync(). fsync()

1854 * the call was made get new I/O started against them. If wbc->sync_mode is

Jan Karaf446daae2010-08-09 17:19:12 -07001857 *
1858 * To avoid livelocks (when other process dirties new pages), we first tag
1859 * pages which should be written back with TOWRITE tag and only then start
1860 * writing them. For data-integrity sync we have to be careful so that we do
1861 * not miss some pages (e.g., because some other process has cleared TOWRITE
1862 * tag we set). The rule we follow is that TOWRITE tag can be cleared only
1863 * by the process clearing the DIRTY tag (and submitting the page for IO).
