writeback: factor out wb_bg_dirty_limits to remove repeated code
Patch series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback", v2. This series adds a lot of helpers to remove repeated code between domain and wb; dirty limit and dirty background; global domain and wb domain. The helpers also improve readability. More details can be found in the respective patches. A simple domain hierarchy is tested: global domain (> 20G) | cgroup domain1(10G) | wb1 | fio Test steps: /* make it easy to observe */ echo 300000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs echo 3000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs /* create cgroup domain */ cd /sys/fs/cgroup echo "+memory +io" > cgroup.subtree_control mkdir group1 cd group1 echo 10G > memory.high echo 10G > memory.max echo $$ > cgroup.procs mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdb mount /dev/vdb /bdi1/ /* run fio to generate dirty pages */ fio -name test -filename=/bdi1/file -size=xxx -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \ -iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=600 -invalidate=0 When fio size is 1G, the wb is in freerun state and dirty pages are only written back when dirty inode is expired after 30 seconds. When fio size is 2G, the dirty pages keep being written back and bandwidth of fio is limited. This patch (of 8): Similar to wb_dirty_limits which calculates dirty and thresh of wb, wb_bg_dirty_limits calculates background dirty and background thresh of wb. With wb_bg_dirty_limits, we could remove repeated code in wb_over_bg_thresh.
