writeback: dirty ratelimit - think time compensation
Compensate the task's think time when computing the final pause time,
so that ->dirty_ratelimit can be executed accurately.
think time := time spend outside of balance_dirty_pages()
In the rare case that the task slept longer than the 200ms period time
(result in negative pause time), the sleep time will be compensated in
the following periods, too, if it's less than 1 second.
Accumulated errors are carefully avoided as long as the max pause area
is not hitted.
Pseudo code:
period = pages_dirtied / task_ratelimit;
think = jiffies - dirty_paused_when;
pause = period - think;
1) normal case: period > think
pause = period - think
dirty_paused_when = jiffies + pause
nr_dirtied = 0
period time
|===============================>|
think time pause time
|===============>|==============>|
------|----------------|---------------|------------------------
dirty_paused_when jiffies
2) no pause case: period <= think
don't pause; reduce future pause time by:
dirty_paused_when += period
nr_dirtied = 0
period time
|===============================>|
think time
|===================================================>|
------|--------------------------------+-------------------|----
dirty_paused_when jiffies
