From cf0ca9fe5dd9e3693d935757a7b2fc50fc576554 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:54:32 -0700 Subject: 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//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 Cc: Kay Sievers Acked-by: Greg KH Cc: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-bdi | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-bdi (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-bdi b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-bdi new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..b800cdda40bb --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-bdi @@ -0,0 +1,46 @@ +What: /sys/class/bdi// +Date: January 2008 +Contact: Peter Zijlstra +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 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// +--------------------------------- + +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 + -- cgit v1.2.3
