writeback机制源码分析

writeback相关数据结构与writeback相关的数据结构主要有：1，backing_dev_info，该数据结构描述了backing_dev的所有信息，通常块设备的request queue中会包含backing_dev对象。2，bdi_writeback，该数据结构封装了writeback的内核线程以及需要操作的inode队列。3，wb_writeback_work，该数据结构封装了writeback的工作任务。各数据结构之间的关系如下图所示：下面对各个数据结构做简要介绍。bdi informationbdi对象在块设备添加的时候需要注册到系统的bdi队列中。对于ext3而言，在mount的时候需要将底层块设备的bdi对象联系到ext3 root_inode中。bdi对象数据结构定义如下：struct backing_dev_info {
struct list_head bdi_list;
unsigned long ra_pages; /* max readahead in PAGE_CACHE_SIZE units */
unsigned long state; /* Always use atomic bitops on this */
unsigned int capabilities; /* Device capabilities */
congested_fn *congested_fn; /* Function pointer if device is md/dm */
void *congested_data; /* Pointer to aux data for congested func */char *name;struct percpu_counter bdi_stat[NR_BDI_STAT_ITEMS];unsigned long bw_time_stamp; /* last time write bw is updated */
unsigned long dirtied_stamp;
unsigned long written_stamp; /* pages written at bw_time_stamp */
unsigned long write_bandwidth; /* the estimated write bandwidth */
unsigned long avg_write_bandwidth; /* further smoothed write bw *//*
* The base dirty throttle rate, re-calculated on every 200ms.
* All the bdi tasks" dirty rate will be curbed under it.
* @dirty_ratelimit tracks the estimated @balanced_dirty_ratelimit
* in small steps and is much more smooth/stable than the latter.
