From f919b19614f06711cba300c1bb1e3d94c9ca21b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 15:02:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs: nfs: inform the VM about pages being committed or unstable VM page reclaim uses dirty and writeback page states to determine if flushers are cleaning pages too slowly and that page reclaim should stall waiting on flushers to catch up. Page state in NFS is a bit more complex and a clean page can be unreclaimable due to being unstable which is effectively "dirty" from the perspective of the VM from reclaim context. Similarly, if the inode is currently being committed then it's similar to being under writeback. This patch adds a is_dirty_writeback() handled for NFS that checks if a pages backing inode is being committed and should be accounted as writeback and if a page has private state indicating that it is effectively dirty.
