mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs
Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object. This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables. In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated. With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH [mszeredi@suse.cz] - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI won't be initialized - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 warning] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Acked-by: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Description: | ||
|
||
Provide a place in sysfs for the backing_dev_info object. | ||
This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables. | ||
|
||
The <bdi> identifier can be either of the following: | ||
|
||
MAJOR:MINOR | ||
|
||
Device number for block devices, or value of st_dev on | ||
non-block filesystems which provide their own BDI, such as NFS | ||
and FUSE. | ||
|
||
default | ||
|
||
The default backing dev, used for non-block device backed | ||
filesystems which do not provide their own BDI. | ||
|
||
Files under /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/ | ||
--------------------------------- | ||
|
||
read_ahead_kb (read-write) | ||
|
||
Size of the read-ahead window in kilobytes | ||
|
||
reclaimable_kb (read-only) | ||
|
||
Reclaimable (dirty or unstable) memory destined for writeback | ||
to this device | ||
|
||
writeback_kb (read-only) | ||
|
||
Memory currently under writeback to this device | ||
|
||
dirty_kb (read-only) | ||
|
||
Global threshold for reclaimable + writeback memory | ||
|
||
bdi_dirty_kb (read-only) | ||
|
||
Current threshold on this BDI for reclaimable + writeback | ||
memory | ||
