From 028c2dd184c097809986684f2f0627eea5529fea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 13:24:07 +1000 Subject: writeback: Add tracing to balance_dirty_pages Tracing high level background writeback events is good, but it doesn't give the entire picture. Add visibility into write throttling to catch IO dispatched by foreground throttling of processing dirtying lots of pages.
