This patch includes some fixes and cleanup for idle-page writeback. 1. writeback_limit interface Now writeback_limit interface is rather conusing. For example, once writeback limit budget is exausted, admin can see 0 from /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit which is same semantic with disable writeback_limit at this moment. IOW, admin cannot tell that zero came from disable writeback limit or exausted writeback limit. To make the interface clear, let's sepatate enable of writeback limit to another knob - /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit_enable * before: while true : # to re-enable writeback limit once previous one is used up echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit .. .. # used up the writeback limit budget * new # To enable writeback limit, from the beginning, admin should # enable it. echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit echo 1 > /sys/block/zram/0/writeback_limit_enable while true : echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit .. .. # used up the writeback limit budget It's much strightforward. 2. fix condition check idle/huge writeback mode check The mode in writeback_store is not bit opeartion any more so no need to use bit operations. Furthermore, current condition check is broken in that it does writeback every pages regardless of huge/idle. 3. clean up idle_store No need to use goto.
