From 8344a3d44be3d18671e18c4ba23bb03dd21e14ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2023 19:55:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] writeback: account the number of pages written back nr_to_write is a count of pages, so we need to decrease it by the number of pages in the folio we just wrote, not by 1. Most callers specify either LONG_MAX or 1, so are unaffected, but writeback_sb_inodes() might end up writing 512x as many pages as it asked for. Dave added: : XFS is the only filesystem this would affect, right? AFAIA, nothing : else enables large folios and uses writeback through : write_cache_pages() at this point... : : In which case, I'd be surprised if much difference, if any, gets : noticed by anyone.
